NEW DELHI: US President Joe Biden joined world leaders in paying tributes to late former prime minister Manmohan Singh, saying his achievements such as the India-US civil nuclear deal and helping launch the Quad will strengthen the world for generations.
Singh died at 92 of age-related illnesses on December 26, triggering an outpouring of grief and tributes from across the world. The government has announced seven days of state mourning as a mark of respect.
Biden said he and his wife Jill joined the people of India in grieving the loss of Singh, without whose "strategic vision and political courage" the unprecedented level of cooperation today between India and the US "would not have been possible".
