Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with US President Joe Biden at the White House today. This is the first in-person meeting between the two leaders after Mr Biden became President in January. "This decade will be shaped by talent and people-to-people linkages. I am glad the Indian diaspora is making an active contribution towards USA's progress," PM Modi told Mr Biden. "Today's bilateral summit is important. We are meeting at the start of the third decade of this century. Your leadership will certainly play an important role in how this decade is shaped. The seeds have been sown for an even stronger friendship between India and USA," the Prime Minister said.
