President Joe Biden has signalled he would seek to deepen the close relationship between the United States and India in his first conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he added climate change and "democratic values" to the agenda.
Modi welcomed calls to collaborate on combating climate change and agreed to participate in a climate summit Biden will host in April, the White House said.
The late Monday phone conversation between the two leaders was part of the formal contacts between the new US administration and India's top leadership that began last month. Both the leaders discussed their shared priorities and emphasised their commitment to a rules-based international order.
