US President Joe Biden has expressed his condolences to the people of India following the passing of former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The two nations’ close relationship, which Biden credits to Singh’s strategic vision and courage, will continue to shape global progress for generations to come.
Biden recalls meeting Singh during his official visits to the US in 2008 and 2009, and also hosting him in New Delhi in 2013. He emphasizes that the US-India partnership is among the most significant globally, with immense potential for mutual growth and dignity.
As a tribute to Singh’s dedication, Biden reiterates his commitment to this vision, offering condolences to Prime Minister Singh’s family, including former First Lady Gursharan Kaur and their children, as well as the Indian people.
