Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with US President Joe Biden will be very important in terms of reconciling the leaders of the world's two largest democracies. This journey is going to be interesting in many ways. This time when Biden came to power after the slogan of the Trump government, there was a possibility of a reverse of many equations. But after the change of power in America, Prime Minister Modi and Biden have talked thrice. However, this is the first face-to-face meeting. But both sides have done a lot of homework before this visit. It is believed that Biden, who specializes in creating mutual chemistry, will also make a good understanding at a personal level.
Friendship is important in the current situation in Afghanistan
Experts say that the global situation has changed a lot in view of the latest developments in Afghanistan. America needs India as a reliable partner in this region. At the same time, US cooperation for India is also important in terms of fighting terrorism and extremism and maintaining pressure on the Taliban.
Quad activated at top level
The top leaders of the Quad are meeting face-to-face for the first time in the US. Prior to this, a virtual meeting was held in March. This alliance formed in terms of the siege of China has become active at the level of the top leadership only after the arrival of Biden. Earlier talks were held at the level of Foreign Minister only. Therefore, the success of the Quad meeting during Modi's visit to America will also be a big achievement. US policy against Pak-China Important Biden's China policy also holds great importance for India amid continuing Pakistan's proxy war against India and China's encroachment policy. The Indian side wants US cooperation to be based on mutual interests.
Keeping the Quad Effective
Keeping the Quad's role effective in the Indo-Pacific region and India's interests in its multi-faceted agenda will also be on the negotiating table with Australia, the UK and the US becoming the custodian.
Indo-US indispensable to each other
Both Barack Obama and Trump have had a better relationship than Modi. The relationship with Biden is yet to be tested on many issues. Biden's Kashmir policy and liberal approach do not match with India's current leadership on many issues. But at the stage where the strategic and trade nexus of India and America is, India and America are seen as indispensable to each other.
Modi-Obama's mutual understanding was great
When Modi won the election in 2014, Obama was the first head of state who called and congratulated him. Obama had called Modi and invited Modi to come to the White House. Every meeting of Obama and Modi was positive. Obama called Modi the man of action. Modi addressed Obama as friend Barack. Obama supported India's entry into the NSG group, although China blocked it. Obama supported India's claim for permanent membership in the Security Council. He talked about making many defense equipment together including drones. The Apache-Chinook deal was done during Obama's tenure.
There was a special relationship with Trump too
The chemistry of Modi and Trump was also amazing. He supported India in the tension against China. Termed Pakistan as a country that gives power to terrorism. Advocated for India's permanent membership in the Security Council. Defense deal worth $3 billion was signed. COMCASA was signed between the two countries in the year 2018 and BECA in the year 2020. Buying a drone just got easier. Integrated Air Defense Weapon System for India approved. Howdy Modi happened in Houston in September 2019.
Namaste Trump in Ahmedabad in February 2020.
Biden has an eye on Modi's chemistry
Biden and Modi know each other very well. Biden was the Vice President when Modi visited the US in 2014. Biden had given dinner to Modi. Have talked on the phone 3 times so far this year.
