In reportedly unscripted remarks at a closed-door meeting of Quad leaders in Tokyo, US President Joe Biden on Tuesday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s handling of the Covid-19 situation in India “successfully in a democratic manner”.
Senior officials told News18.com that Biden contrasted India’s success with China’s failure in handling the pandemic despite the neighbouring countries being of comparable sizes.
“He (Biden) added that PM Modi’s success has shown the world that democracies can deliver, and busted the myth that autocracies like China and Russia can handle the rapidly changing world better because their leadership can take and implement decisions without going through lengthy democratic processes,” an official said.
India’s efforts in manufacturing and supplying Covid-19 vaccines to the world in a short span of time were also praised by the Australian and Japanese leaders at the Quad session, sources added.
