Joe Biden, US President
We’ve spent a lot of time together, going back to when I (Joe Biden) was vice president and you (Narendra Modi) had just become prime minister. And since — and since I’ve become president, we’ve continued a relationship built on mutual trust, candor, and respect. The challenges and opportunities facing the world in this century require that India and the United States work and lead together. And we are. With your partnership, we’ve invigorated and elevated the Quad between the United States, India, Australia, and Japan to advance our vision of a free, open, secure, and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
