About the Modi-Biden presser-1

June 22, 2023

The Indian media is sitting on the left side of the East Room. 

Behind them is the foreign press and on the right side of the hall us the US press. 

 There seems to be a lot more people from the US media at the press conference than there were for the official ceremony earlier in the day. 

The pool has been brought into the East Room for the remarks and questions event on the press conference. 

There are two lecterns on the podium, about 10 feet apart, each bearing the presidential seal, and each with an Indian and US flag behind it. 

The lectern on the left, looking from the audience, has two teleprompter screens arranged on each side. 

There are some 60 seats arranged on either side of the central aisle, one for US press, the other for Indian press.
