Narendra Modi addresses the US congress, attends a state dinner and receives a 21-gun salute.
US President Joe Biden hailed US-India ties, while rolling out the pomp and pageantry for visiting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday.
Mr Modi, who is on a state visit, also addressed the US Congress, where he received a standing ovation. Washington has long viewed India as a counterbalance to China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific, although Delhi has never been fully comfortable with owning the tag. Mr Modi also did not mention Russia or who started the war, saying instead, "With the Ukraine conflict, war has returned to Europe".India has so far not directly criticised Russia, which analysts say is largely due to its huge dependency on Russian defence imports and its "time-tested ties" with Moscow.
