Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday held a bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden in Tokyo, Japan where the two leaders are visiting for the second in-person Quad summit. During the meet, PM Modi said that partnership between India and the US in the true sense is a "partnership of trust".
The Prime Minister emphasised that both the countries share common views on the Indo-pacific region. "Our common interests have indeed strengthened the mutual trust between the two countries. We are expanding our financial and trade ties but still they are well below the potential," PM Modi added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said that India and the US are increasing bilateral cooperation in technology and other fields.
"I'm confident that with the conclusion of the US Investment Incentive Agreement, we will see concrete progress in investment between our two countries. We are also increasing bilateral cooperation in terms of technology and other areas," the PM said.
