During a state dinner at the White House, U.S. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden welcomed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sharing camaraderie and humor-filled moments. Both leaders, known for their teetotaler habits, engaged in a friendly exchange on how to raise a toast without alcohol, a topic sparked by President Biden's recollection of his grandfather's advice. The jesting conversation lightened the atmosphere, with PM Modi laughing heartily at President Biden's remarks on his non-alcoholic preferences. It was soon clarified by a translator that the Indian Prime Minister was savoring a glass of ginger ale. In his toast, President Biden not only commended the existing partnership between the two nations but also optimistically acknowledged the future prospects. With a brimming glass, he toasted to the strength of their friendship, the potentialities that the future holds, and the enduring alliance of two significant global powers.
