TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated Joe Biden for being sworn in as the President of the United States and said he was committed to working with him to take the India-US partnership to greater heights.
The prime minister also congratulated Kamala Harris on being sworn in as the US Vice President and said he looked forward to interacting with her to make India-US relations more robust. The India-US partnership is beneficial for our planet, Modi asserted.
Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States and Harris took oath as the first woman vice president in a historic but scaled down ceremony under the unprecedented security umbrella of thousands of security personnel.
Biden, a 78-year-old veteran Democrat leader, was administered the oath of office by Chief Justice John Roberts at the West Front of the US Capitol in Washington, the traditional location for presidential inaugural ceremonies, where a deadly violence took place just two weeks ago.
