President Joe Biden has said the friendship between the US and India was among the most consequential in the world as the two countries signed several major deals during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s historic visit to the United State.
“The friendship between the United States and India is among the most consequential in the world. And it’s stronger, closer, and more dynamic than ever,” Biden said in a tweet on Sunday.
The US president hosted Modi for a three-day official state visit that included a welcome ceremony attended by a record 7,000 people on the South Lawns of the White House, a State Dinner, and a round table with technology companies’ chief, entrepreneurs, officials and CEOs.
Tagging Biden’s tweet, PM Modi twitted, “I fully agree with you, @POTUS @JoeBiden! Friendship between our countries is a force of global good. It will make a planet better and more sustainable.”
“The ground covered in my recent visit will strengthen our bond even more,” he said.
“PM Modi’s state visit affirmed the deep and close partnership between the US and India, strengthened the two countries’ shared commitment to a free, open, prosperous and secure Indo-Pacific, and shared resolve to elevate their strategic technology partnership, including in defence, clean energy and space, ” the PTI reported quoting weekly email update of the White House.
“The leaders discussed ways to further expand the United States and India’s educational exchanges, people-to-people ties, as well as our work together to confront common challenges from climate change, to workforce development and health security,” the weekly email update added.
