Watch: At State Dinner, Biden's No Alcohol Toast Leaves PM Modi Laughing

US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared some light-hearted moments as they raised a toast together to the successful meeting that happened between them as they attended the official State Dinner at the White House today.

With both President Biden and PM Modi being non-drinkers, the former recounted his grandfather's advice on raising a toast without alcohol.

Speaking at the high-profile event, attended by 400 distinguished guests, President Biden recounted his grandfather, Ambrose Finnegan's words of wisdom.

"If you give a toast and you don't have any alcohol in the glass, you must do it with your left hand. You all think I'm kidding. I'm not," Biden said.

The guests present in the audience broke into laughter as the translator tried to translate it into Hindi.

"Jill and I have had a wonderful time with the Prime Minster today, during your truly productive visit. Tonight we celebrate the great bonds of friendship between India and the United States," Biden said.

Prime Minister Modi thanked the US President and First Lady Jill Biden for hosting the dinner and opening their doors for him.

"I want to thank US President Joe Biden for this wonderful dinner today. I would also like to thank First Lady Jill Biden for taking care of my visit to make it successful. Yesterday evening you opened the doors of your house for me," PM Modi said.

"This evening is made special by the presence of the people of our two countries, they are our most precious assets," the prime minister said, adding that the guests in the audience "symbolise a lot about the US-India relationship - our energy, our dynamism, and our potential."
