PM Modi "Most Pro-American PM" In Indian History, Says US Envoy

He noted that the four Quad countries have a common vision that there should be a free and prosperous Indo-Pacific and the forum is about finding solutions to common challenges and standing up for principles that not every country shares.

US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti, on Monday, talked about the "close friendship" between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden and its role in the rapidly expanding ties between the two countries.

In an interview with ANI, Garcetti said PM Modi is the most pro-American Prime Minister they have seen in Indian history and President Biden is the most "pro-Indian president we've had in US history".

"These are two men (PM Modi and Joe Biden) who have such a close friendship, the most pro-American prime minister we've ever seen in Indian history, the most pro-Indian president we've had in US history and that's building on people who have been very strong before. I think they are representative of the people in their country, the closeness that we have," he said.
