PM Modi will hold a bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden during his US visit. During this, both will discuss many important issues. On this meeting of the two leaders, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that PM Modi's recent Ukraine visit, apart from the Quad summit, is expected to figure prominently in the PM Modi and Joe Biden bilateral meeting to be held at the US President's Wilmington residence in Delaware.
Responding to a question, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said, “I will not elaborate too much on the issues that Biden will say, which are obviously sensitive and will clearly be important priorities in the bilateral meeting.” Sullivan said, “It is the clear view of the US that Russia's brutal aggressive war against Ukraine has violated every norm and principle of international law, and countries like India should come forward and support the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
