00:00share with you a sense of a very full and packed day today.
00:11The overall visit is a short and compact one,
00:15but it has many, many themes and outcomes packed into it,
00:19and you've seen a sample of that today.
00:24Let me give you first a rundown of all that happened today.
00:32The prime minister landed in Philadelphia
00:35after a 15 and a half hour flight from New Delhi
00:39and went almost straight away into a bilateral meeting
00:45with President Biden.
00:48As you probably saw, the meeting was
00:51held in a very evocative setting at President Biden's
00:56personal residence in Wilmington.
01:01Following that, we got down to the events
01:07related to the Quad Summit.
01:10This, as you know, is the fourth in-person summit
01:14of the leaders, the sixth summit overall.
01:18And that was held at the Archmere Academy,
01:23again, when you're very, very closely
01:25connected with President Biden.
01:29Prime minister also, together with the other Quad leaders,
01:36participated in the launch of a cancer moonshot initiative
01:42being taken by the Quad leaders.
01:44This one aimed at addressing the challenges
01:49posed by cervical cancer.
01:53The prime minister had bilateral meetings
01:57with his other Quad counterparts, Prime Minister
02:00Kishida of Japan and Prime Minister Albanese of Australia.
02:05And the evening ended with a dinner
02:08hosted by President Biden.
02:12Now, some of you might recall that in my pre-visit.
