The world leaders started arriving in India yesterday for the crucial geopolitical summit, which Indian PM Narendra Modi said, will chart a new path in human-centric and inclusive development. Narendra Modi arrived at the Convention Centre today to welcome the guests.

The Prime Minister last evening met US President Joe Biden at his official residence in New Delhi for bilateral discussions, shortly after Biden landed in New Delhi for the G20 Summit. A joint statement was issued after their meeting.

Biden's plane - Air Force One - touched down at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport shortly before 7pm.

The Prime Minister's Office shared photos of the two leaders holding talks on "a wide range of issues (that) will further deepen the bond between India and the US".
