Remarks With Vice President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Mr. Prime Minister, once again, welcome. Its an honor to have you here. Secretary Kerry and I and along with President Obama enjoyed our dinner last night. We had a small dinner, where I think all of us thought it was a remarkable way in which Senator and I said Senator President Obama and the Prime Minister connected, each discussing what each of our countries faced and what needed to be done. It was really quite remarkable. Ive been to many of these dinners, but I cant think of any one that went as well. And Happy Navratri, Mr. Prime Minister. Its good of you to honor us and visit us on during this holy week. And the Prime Minister is fasting and we keep taking him to dinners and lunches. (Laughter.) And as we Catholics would say, thats an occasion for sin, but we appreciate the fact he has spent so much time with us.
And its good to have a chance to come together to celebrate the relationship that has grown enormously over the past two decades. I dont think it could have been said better than the way Secretary Kerry said it. This has always been the promise the promise over the horizon. There was no reason why the oldest and the largest democracy should not be working together, but its been a promise and its always just been out of reach. But I think one of the reasons why its come into reach its not just because of the Prime Minister, but because of the ways in which the different ethnicities, faces, faiths, tongues of both our proud nations have come together.

Why hijack your own thread? That person's opinion on Syria has no relevance to it.
