India and the US can shape the course of the 21st Century, US President Joe Biden said on Thursday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the White House on his first state visit, initiating high-level talks aimed at bolstering the burgeoning Indo-US strategic ties in areas such as defence, space, clean energy, and advanced technologies.
In his welcome address, President Biden voiced the potential for collaboration between the two nations. "Two great nations, two great powers, two great friends can define the course of the 21st century," he said.
PM Modi's visit, which includes a one-on-one meeting with President Biden in the Oval Office ahead of delegation-level talks, has been anticipated to affirm and deepen the close partnership between the United States and India. The White House stated on Wednesday, "The visit will strengthen our two countries' shared commitment to a free, open, prosperous, and secure Indo-Pacific and shared resolve to elevate the technology partnership."
As he arrived at the White House, PM Modi took to Twitter to express his confidence in the bilateral discussions, "Looking forward to today's talks with @POTUS @JoeBiden. I am confident our discussions will further strengthen India-USA relations."
