Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make a guest appearance at Facebook's Menlo Park, California, headquarters this month, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced, where he'll answer questions at one of the Facebook founder's "town hall Q&As," answering questions put to him by Facebook users.

"I had the chance to visit Prime Minister Modi in India last year and it's an honor to have the chance to host him here at Facebook," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. "Prime Minister Modi and I will discuss how communities can work together to address social and economic challenges."
