"He (Biden) came away from the G20 feeling very positive and optimistic about the direction. I mean, there was an awful lot of great work done at the G20 and we're all grateful to Prime Minister Modi for his presidency, for India's presidency of it, but also for the way the agenda was executed. It was a very, very productive couple of days," Kirby said at the briefing.
On being asked if any bilateral discussion can be expected between India and the US during the forum, Kirby said there is no bilateral discussion on President Biden's agenda with the Indian delegation.
"I'm not aware of any specific India-focused meetings on his agenda while he's here in New York.," Kirby added.
