G20: Modi-Biden bilateral talks to focus on climate, Ukraine war

US President Joe Biden will meet Indian PM Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G20 summit in India. The main agenda of the bilateral talks will be economic cooperation, climate change and Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Biden is expected to meet Modi on Friday, soon after arriving in New Delhi. US National Security Advisor said the two leaders are likely to build on their previous talks from Modi’s US visit.

“In general, security, economic, and diplomatic challenges throughout the Indo-Pacific will certainly be something that they discuss,” NSA John Kirby said at a presser, NDTV reported.
