Ahead of PM Modi's meeting with the US President, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan revealed that Joe Biden will speak to him about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the need for India to step up and support sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"I won't go too deep into the details of what he will say on those issues which are obviously sensitive and will obviously be critical priorities in the bilateral meeting. I will just say that the United States has been clear about our view that Russia's brutal war of aggression against Ukraine flouted every norm and principle of international law, that countries like India, India should step up and support the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, and that every country everywhere should refrain from supplying inputs to Russia's war machine for it to be able to continue to prosecute this brutal war. So they will talk about that," he said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
Sullivan added that Biden will also wants to listen about PM Modi's historic visit to Ukraine and discuss a way forward to help the two warring nations reach a peaceful resolution. The US NSA revealed that the leaders will also share their views on China's actions with respect to not just the security domain but technology and economic as well.
"The President will also hear from Prime Minister Modi about his trip to Ukraine, which was an important and indeed historic trip, and it will be the opportunity for the two of them to talk about their respective views on the way forward. And then with respect to China, you know, they will talk about how they see China's actions in the region where China is headed. And that's not just true in the security domain, but in the economic and technology domain as well. And work to try to coordinate approaches to the extent that makes sense for both..."
