ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「President Biden welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India to the White House on Thursday for a pomp-filled state visit intended to woo the world’s most populous nation as the U.S. navigates conflict with Russia and rising tension with China. Biden is hosting Modi for meetings and a state dinner, aiming to strengthen their nations’ relationship. The two leaders had been set to deliver remarks and answer reporter questions after a private meeting, but the event was postponed just before it was scheduled to begin on Thursday afternoon. Observers had wondered whether Modi, who avoids unscripted events, would respond to questions from reporters after delivering his statement or simply walk away from the lectern, as he often does. Biden is seeking more allies against increasingly aggressive governments in Moscow and Beijing. India, which remained nonaligned during the Cold War, has refused to join the American-led coalition aiding Ukraine in its war against invading Russian forces. And while it shares a certain enmity for China, it has not fully subscribed to Washington’s strategy for dealing with the Chinese.
