Biden, Modi discuss US-India ties over phone

Marking the beginning of a new era in India-US relations, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held his first phone conversation with the U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday. According to the statement released by India`s External Affairs Ministry, both agreed to work closely to further advance the Indo-U.S. comprehensive global strategic partnership. Further,  PM Modi congratulated Biden on his win during their conversation as they discussed their priorities, including containing the coronavirus pandemic, promoting access to affordable vaccines, tackling climate change, and cooperating in the Indo-Pacific Region. Modi had earlier tweeted his congratulations to Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Nov. 8th. Prime Minister Modi tweeted about his interaction with Biden on the microblogging site. He wrote ““Spoke to U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on the phone to congratulate him. We reiterated our firm commitment to the Indo-U.S. strategic partnership and discussed our shared priorities and concerns, COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region”. The friendship between Modi and Biden goes back to the Obama Administration days when Biden was the Vice president of the US. Modi recalled his earlier interactions with Biden, including during his official visits to the United States in 2014 and 2016. Biden had chaired the Joint Session of the U.S. Congress that was addressed by Modi during his 2016 visit to Washington.
