At the same time, President Biden also said that among other Indian-Americans, we have someone like Kamala Harris, whose mother came to the US with an aim to achieve a breakthrough in preparing medicines that could fight cancer.
Biden also said that the two nations are closely working in their endeavour to expand healthcare, climate change and alluded to issues arising due to Russia’s war on Ukraine. He said that relations between India and the US were the most defining in the 21st century. Both countries are huge democracies and that makes coming together of them (India and the US) a big talking point of this century, he reiterated.
PM Modi in his speech said that post-Covid the world order has changed and India and the US can have a great partnership in the times to come.
While there was no oblique reference to any other country, surmises were drawn that China and Russia, particularly the latter will feel the pinch of losing India to its enemy.
