The bilateral meeting between US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the sidelines of Quad, will include a "constructive and straightforward' dialogue along with a continued discussion on the Ukraine situation.

While speaking on the US President's bilateral meeting with PM Modi in Japan, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said, "It will be a continuation of the conversation they have already had on how we see the picture in Ukraine. They will talk all of that through and this will be similarly constructive and straightforward."

Briefing reporters on the PM's visit to Japan, foreign secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra said: "Our position on Ukraine is amply clear and has been reiterated many times. Right from the time when hostilities began in February, we asked for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the path of diplomacy and dialogue remains the best policy to move forward in this regard." - ANI
