Prime Minister Narendra Modi embraced a moment of camaraderie with US President Joe Biden during the G20 Summit held in Brazil's vibrant Rio de Janeiro, calling their encounter a “delight.” The two leaders explored avenues for collaboration while also partaking in engaging discussions with other global dignitaries.
On Monday, during the two-day G20 Summit convened in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had the opportunity to meet with outgoing US President Joe Biden. This interaction was characterized by warmth and optimism, as PM Modi expressed his sentiments about their meeting, calling it “always a delight.” He took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share this sentiment alongside a photograph of himself with President Biden. This meeting highlights the continuing friendship and diplomatic ties between India and the United States.
In addition to his engagement with President Biden, PM Modi also interacted with a number of other global leaders, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. Such encounters emphasize the collaborative spirit of the G20 Summit, where leaders gather to discuss pressing global issues and strengthen international cooperation.
Previously, PM Modi and President Biden interacted at the Quad Leaders' Summit held in September, which was also attended by Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and former Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida. Additionally, they had a brief conversation at the G7 Summit in Italy in June. Their continuous dialogues, including a phone call in August discussing critical matters like the political situation in Bangladesh, reflect a robust and evolving relationship between India and the US.
As Prime Minister Modi encapsulated the essence of their meeting, he reinforced the notion of unity among nations in the face of global challenges. His arrival in Rio de Janeiro marked the continuation of a significant three-nation tour, which began in Nigeria. It is notable that this visit marked the first time in 17 years that an Indian Prime Minister has visited Nigeria, a testament to Modi's commitment to strengthening ties with nations across the globe.
Upon his arrival in Rio de Janeiro, the Prime Minister was warmly welcomed by the local Indian diaspora, who greeted him with traditional Sanskrit chants, showcasing the vibrant cultural ties between India and Brazil. As the summit continues, PM Modi's discussions are expected to focus on enhancing trade, addressing climate change, and promoting peace and security in the region.
This G20 Summit, hosted in Brazil's second-largest city, serves as an important platform for global leaders to come together and forge pathways for collaboration, understanding, and progress in addressing the myriad challenges facing the world today. Following this summit, PM Modi is set to conclude his foreign tour in Guyana, further demonstrating India's active engagement in international affairs.
