New Delhi: Microblogging website Twitter is abuzz with excitement over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US on September 25. Modi, who was earlier scheduled to leave for Washington on September 26, advanced it by a day due to 'landing issues' in Germany, sources said on Monday.

Once in the US, Modi will attend a business meeting at the Taj Pierre organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and the Indian American Foundation.
On September 27, he will address the United Nations General Assembly. He is expected to deliver a brief speech at Central Park as part of the global citizens' festival. He is also expected to meet former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton.
On September 28, he will address the NRIs at the Madison Square.
On September 29, the PM will have a private dinner with President Barack Obama in Washington.
