PM Modi’s US Visit

President Biden’s spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre, mentioned that this summit highlights the strong personal relationships Biden has with the Quad leaders and the importance of the Quad alliance to all participating countries.
The Quad leaders attending the summit will include Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. During the summit, the leaders will review the progress made by the Quad alliance over the past year.
