He said in response to a question by Richard Verma, former US ambassador to India, that he believes Joe Biden will work as president and with close allies like India.

He said that in the Obama administration, we played an important role in establishing India as an important ally of the Indo-Pacific strategy. Blinken said, “There is a need to extend this role beyond the region to the whole world.” In the Biden administration we would advocate that India play a leading role in international institutions. These include reforming the UN Security Council and helping India get a seat in it.
He said, “We will work together to strengthen India’s capabilities as a partner of India and against terrorism.” Blinken said the Biden administration would adopt a policy of not tolerating terrorism at all, including South Asia.
