Washington,
Nov
11:
US
President
Joe
Biden
and
Indian
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
have
a
productive
and
very
practical
relationship,
the
American
national
security
advisor
has
said
ahead
of
the
bilateral
between
the
two
leaders
on
the
sidelines
of
the
G-20
summit
in
Bali,
Indonesia.

“I
would
point
out
Prime
Minister
Modi
has
already
been
to
the
White
House
since
President
Biden
took
office,
and
the
two
of
them
have
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
in
person
multiple
times
and
to
talk
by
phone
and
on
video
multiple
times,”
US
National
Security
Advisor
Jake
Sullivan
told
reporters
at
the
White
House
on
Thursday.

on

sidelines

He
said
the
two
leaders
see
common
interests
on
a
number
of
critical
issues
and
have
really
worked
together
to
strengthen
the
US-India
partnership.

“When
you
add
all
that
up,
it
is
a
productive,
very
practical
relationship,”
Sullivan
added.

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

India
will
hold
the
presidency
of
the
G20
next
year
and
there
is
a
possibility
of
a
US
presidential
visit
to
the
country.

“President
Biden
certainly
intends
to
be
a
participant
in
that
G20.
I
don’t
have
anything
to
announce
about
visits
prior
to
that,
to
India,
or
visits
to
the
White
House,”
Sullivan
said.
