Democratic presidential candidate and former vice-president Joe Biden said that if he wins the November elections, strengthening the relationship with India which is the US' "natural partner", will be a high priority for his administration.

"India needs to be a partner in the region for our safety's sake, and quite frankly for theirs," he said in response to a question on India-US relationship during a virtual fund raiser event.

At the fundraiser hosted by Chairman and CEO of Beacon Capital Partners Alan Leventhal, the former vice president said that India and the United States were natural partners.
