Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently on a three-day state visit to the United States, presented an eco-friendly lab-grown 7.5 carat diamond, elegantly encased in a Papier mache box from Kashmir, as a gift to First Lady Jill Biden.
The occasion was an intimate dinner hosted by US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House.
During the event, discussions covered a range of topics, gifts were exchanged, and a musical tribute to different regions of India was enjoyed.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal took to Twitter to share the news, stating, “Bharat Ka Heera! (India’s diamond) PM @NarendraModi ji gifts this beautiful eco-friendly lab-grown diamond, placed in Kashmir’s exquisite Papier mache box to the US First Lady @FLOTUS.”
