Joe Biden teases Modi: US President Joe Biden asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his autograph on Saturday after discovering how he has been managing large crowds.
Biden walked up to Modi and said he was receiving large number of requests from prominent citizens to attend the Indian leader’s programmes during his next month state visit to Washington DC, said reports.
Also present on the occasion was Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He said that there is a capacity of 20,000 for the community reception in Sydney but he is still not able to manage the requests he is getting.
US Prez complains of the challenge
Both President Biden and PM Albanese complained to PM Modi about their peculiar challenges.
PM Albanese remembered how more than 90,000 people welcomed PM Modi during the victory lap at the Narendra Modi stadium.
To this, Joe Biden told PM Modi, “I should take your autograph.”
PM Modi arrived in Hiroshima on Friday to attend three sessions at the G7 summit following an invitation by Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida. The group of seven, comprising the US, France, the UK, Italy, Germany, Canada and Japan, represent the world’s richest democracies.
