New Delhi: Is new Prime Minister Narendra Modi trying settle score with the United States of America (USA) by not feeling enthusiastic about a visit to America? The USA has extended an official invitation to Modi to visit Washington but Modi does not seem very enthusiastic about the trip.
According to top sources, he is not in hurry to visit America and does not want the trip to be put on the top of his priority list. Modi has still not made up his mind on accepting US invite for an official visit to Washington.
People close to him claim that Modi is likely to visit America in September to address the United Nations General Assembly in New York. His first travel abroad after taking charge as PM would be in July where he will be travelling to Brazil to participate in the BRICS Summit.
Modi is said to be more enthusiastic about improving relations with China, Russia and Japan. He wants to give them preference over the United States of America.
Taking to twitter, Modi has warmly accepted the wishes from the World leaders on the social networking site. However, he thanked Obama for his congratulatory wishes 48 hours after call from White House.
US is also reportedly disappointed with India's slow pace on Defence deals and Nuclear agreement implementation.
Indo-US relations had hit a low following diplomat Devyani Khobragade's arrest controversy had been escalated.
Sources also say that Modi has sent across invitations to all SAARC nations to attend his swearing in on May 26. This includes Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan.
The USA repeatedly denied him official Visa holding him responsible for the 2002 Gujarat riots and started mending its relations with him only recently. The US Ambassador to India Nancy Powell met him in Ahmedabad two months before the Lok Sabha election. Modi was said to be very cold even during that meeting.

"Personally, I have a wonderful experience of working with Japan as CM. I am sure we will take India-Japan ties to newer heights."he wrote on Twitter.
Modi with Russia
On Monday, Putin had said to Modi in a congratulatory message, "We highly appreciate traditionally friendly relations between the two countries based on the declaration of strategic partnership." To Russian President Vladimir Putin, Modi tweeted: "I thank President Putin for his good wishes. Looking forward to making our relations with Russia even stronger in the years to come. India-Russia friendship has stood the test of time." "We will further strengthen our relations in a wide range of fields," he wrote in two tweets.
