Following the official arrival ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House on April 10, both leaders will hold a bilateral meeting followed by a joint press conference.
According to the White House, both leaders are expected to discuss various topics during their meeting, ranging from diplomatic and economic issues to global and regional security concerns.
