NEW DELHI: President Joe Biden will travel to India for G20 Summit in September, according to US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Donald Lu.
“This is gonna be a big year for the India-US relationship. India is hosting the G20 and the US is hosting APEC, Japan the G7. We have lots of QUAD members who are taking on leadership roles and it provides us with opportunities to bring our countries closer,” Lu said while speaking with the news agency PTI in Washington DC.
India’s leadership in G20 broadens its capacity to stand as a force of good in the world, he added.
“I know our President is looking forward to travelling to India in September. That will be his first trip to India as part of the G-20 Leaders Summit. We’re really excited about what’s to come in the next few months,” Lu said.
