Joe Biden eager to meet Indian PM Narendra Modi at G20 summit this year: Sullivan

| @indiablooms | 13 Nov 2022, 05:05 pm

Washington:  US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Friday said US President Joe Biden is looking forward to meeting Indian PM Narendra Modi  at the G20 summit this year.

Sullivan made the remark at a time when  India’s G20 Presidency is set to begin from Dec 1.

While addressing a press conference, Sullivan was asked whether Prime Minister Modi will be visiting the White House, replying to which he was quoted as saying by ANI, “India is the President of G20 next year, so President Biden will certainly intend to be a participant in G20.”

“The two have had the opportunity to talk in person, and to talk on the phone or talk on video multiple times. When you add all that up there is a very practical and productive relationship between the two, who see a common interest on a number of critical issues, and have really worked to strengthen the US-India partnership,” he said.

“President Biden is looking forward to seeing Prime Minister Modi at the G20 this year as well we look ahead to the next year,” he said.

G20 is the premier forum for international economic cooperation representing around 85% of the global GDP, over 75% of the global trade, and about two-thirds of the world population.

During the course of its G20 Presidency, India will be holding about 200 meetings in 32 different sectors in multiple locations across India.

The G20 Summit to be held next year, would be one of the highest profile international gatherings to be hosted by India.
