US President Joe Biden has reiterated America's support for India's permanent membership on a reformed United Nations Security Council and its entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group during his first in-person bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House.

Biden and Modi decided that the US and India must continue and expand their partnership in new domains and many areas of critical and emerging technology space, cyber, health security, semiconductors, AI, 5G, 6G, and future generation telecommunications technology, and Blockchain, that will define innovation processes, and the economic and security landscape of the next century.

The leaders called upon the government and private stakeholders to use the existing ecosystems of innovation and entrepreneurship in defense industries for co-development, co-production, and expanding mutual defense trade.

US President Joe Biden has reaffirmed his "unwavering commitment" to India as a Major Defense Partner through close engagements, including information sharing and strengthening cooperation in advanced military technologies.

First Secretary Sneha Dubey said New Delhi desires normal relations "with all our neighbors, including Pakistan." However, it is for Islamabad to work sincerely toward creating a conducive atmosphere, including by taking credible, verifiable, and irreversible actions to not allow any territory under its control to be used for cross-border terrorism against India in any manner.

First Secretary Sneha Dubey said the world has not forgotten that the "mastermind behind the dastardly 9/11 terror attacks, Osama Bin Laden, got shelter in Pakistan. Even today, Pakistan leadership glorify him as a 'martyr'."

Khan in his address had spoken about the August 5, 2019 decision of the Indian government on the abrogation of Article 370 as well as the death of pro-Pakistan separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

Pakistan, where terrorists enjoy free pass, is an "arsonist" disguising itself as a "fire-fighter," and the entire world has suffered because of its policies as the country nurtures terrorists in its backyard, India has said in a blistering retort after Prime Minister Imran Khan raked up the issue of Kashmir in his address to the UN General Assembly.

PM Modi will shortly be speaking at the UN General Assembly.

President Joe Biden will host the three prime ministers -- Narendra Modi, Scott Morrison from Australia, and Yoshihide Suga from Japan -- for the first-ever in-person meeting of the QUAD leaders in the East Room of the White House on Friday afternoon.
