There aren’t many more dynamic democracies in the world than India, the White House stated on Friday, praising the people of India for exercising their right to vote. India is among the world’s most lively democracies. We commend the Indian populace for using their right to vote and participate in the formation of their future administration. At a press conference held here, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said reporters, “And we wish them well throughout the process, of course.”

As for the current Indian elections, Kirby was answering a query on them. Approximately 969 million people are using their right to vote at one million polling places in order to choose 545 members of parliament from thousands of candidates who represent as many as 2,660 registered political parties.
In response to a different query, Kirby stated that over the final three years of the Biden administration, in particular, the India-US relationship has grown stronger under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Our relationship with India is extremely close and getting closer,” he stated.

“During the previous State visit, you witnessed it. We initiated a plethora of new projects, collaborating on vital emerging technologies and, of course, enhancing and amplifying the significance of the Indo-Pacific quartet, of which India is a member. Then there are merely our shared military and people-to-people interactions with India “Kirby stated.

It’s a really lively and dynamic collaboration. We appreciate Prime Minister Modi’s leadership,” the spokesperson for the White House stated.

President Joe Biden responded negatively to a question about whether he thinks Japan and India are xenophobic nations, stating that the president has recently been making a more general statement.

“I mean, the president was making a broader point here about the vibrancy of our own democracy, here in the United States, and how inclusive and participatory it is,” Kirby stated.
