As Biden prepares to conclude his presidency, the solidified partnership with India remains one of his administration’s most enduring achievements, shaping the future of US-India relations for years to come
During a recent press briefing, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby emphasized the deepening relationship between the United States and India, underscoring how President Joe Biden views this partnership as a significant accomplishment. As Biden reflects on his time in office, Kirby stated, he will likely be most proud of strengthening ties with India.
Under Biden’s leadership, the US-India relationship has grown to new heights, particularly in areas of defense, technology, clean energy, and economic cooperation. Working closely with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Biden administration has elevated the strategic partnership, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region, making both nations safer.
India’s integral role within the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad)—which includes Australia, Japan, India, and the US—has been a central aspect of this partnership. The Quad, elevated to a leader-level summit during Biden’s presidency, underscores India’s significance not only in security matters but in broader global initiatives like technological advancements and environmental sustainability.

Kirby highlighted how Biden appreciates Modi’s unique perspective, recognizing India as one of the world’s most dynamic democracies. The collaboration has extended beyond defense to encompass a wide array of areas that bind the two nations in shared goals and mutual respect.

In his final address to the United Nations General Assembly, Biden reflected on his 50 years of public service and reiterated that leadership is fundamentally about serving the people.
