India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a speech before U.S. Congress on Thursday, following a rare appearance before the press at the White House alongside U.S. President Joe Biden. Discussing the topics of democracy, international defence and the strengthening bond between India and the U.S., Modi was met with frequent applause.

"The dark clouds of coercion and confrontation are casting their shadow in the Indo-Pacific," Modi said, referencing the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. He also added that "the stability of the region has become one of the central concerns of our partnership" and that "we share a vision of a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific."

The 72-year-old politician also briefly referenced U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s Indian roots, which prompted cheers among his audience and a smile from Harris herself.

Thursday's visit marks only the third state visit of Biden’s presidency and the third overall by an Indian leader to the U.S., a sign of the strengthening bond between Washington and New Delhi and the distance they have travelled since being on opposite sides of the Cold War.
