Warm personal chemistry between Modi and Biden adds lustre to shared vision

<p>
Strong on optics, the first  face-to-face meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden showed warm personal chemistry between the two leaders, adding lustre to their shared vision for shaping the global system.</p>
<p>
After responding to the Prime Minister’s Namaste greeting, President Joe Biden stood up and opened his arms to receive Modi. The bonhomie between the two key leaders of the democratic world then permeated into the conversation, where Modi complemented Biden for his long-held vision about the future of Indo-US ties, including the formation of the Quad and the need for joint forays to arrest Climate change. </p>
