US President Joe Biden on Saturday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his autograph after discovering how he has been managing large crowds, news agency ANI reported quoting sources.

During the Quad meeting, President Joe Biden came up to PM Modi and told that he’s been facing a challenge with a deluge of requests from prominent citizens to attend the programme of PM Modi.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also expressed similar problem, saying that there is a capacity of 20,000 for the community reception in Sydney but he is still not able to accommodate the requests he is getting.

Albanese also recalled how at the Narendra Modi stadium more than 90,000 people welcomed him during the victory lap. PM Modi and Albanese attended the first day of the India-Australia Test in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Motera.

“I should take your autograph,” Joe Biden told PM Modi in a lighter note.

The Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), met in Hiroshima for annual Summit and emphasised that they are more united than ever in our determination to meet the global challenges of this moment and set the course for a better future.

“The leaders reaffirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine for as long as it takes to bring a comprehensive, just and lasting peace,” a statement from G7 summit read.

“We are taking concrete steps to support Ukraine for as long as it takes in the face of Russia’s illegal war of aggression,” it added.

The G7 leaders vowed to condemn in the strongest possible terms the war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine, which constitutes a serious violation of international law.

“We issued the G7 Leaders’ Statement on Ukraine, and with the clear intention and concrete actions set forth in it, we commit to intensifying our diplomatic, financial, humanitarian and military support for Ukraine, to increasing the costs to Russia and those supporting its war efforts,” the statement added.
