The one-on-one meeting with Joe Biden, followed by the QUAD ‘meeting was the most crucial day for the Indian Prime Minister Modi. Following their greetings, Modi and Biden reaffirmed their commitment to a strong and growing India-US strategic part nership. However, it is unclear ‘whether Modi and Biden have the same chemistry as Modi did with, Obama and Trump. Reportedly the ‘hwo hada cordial conversation with regards to mutually beneficial col- laboration on trade, science, tech- nology and defence. They also discussed people-to-people ex- change as the cornerstone of US- India friendship. When the US Vice President Harris met Modi, she acknowl- edged that India has been a vietim of terrorism.

Modi met with the CEOs of Qual- comm, Adobe, First Solar, General ‘Atomics, and Blackstone in one- ‘on-one sessions and invited them to ‘come to India to start their business for mutual development. Finally, Modi’s speech had a hhuge impact on how the world communicated with him. Perhaps for the first time in history, a strong and confident Indian Prime Minis- ter declared to the world, “When India reforms, the world trans- forms.” Never before has India been so confident in proclaiming that when India grows, so does the rest of the world. @ ‘THE NEWS YOU LIKE| OCTOBER 2021
