US wants to work with India to address key global problems: Biden admin

The US is keen on working with India to address some of the key global problems, including in areas like healthcare, clean energy and climate change, a top Biden administration official has said.

The remarks by Nisha Desai Biswal, Deputy CEO of the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), came ahead of her visit to India this week.

It's not about what India needs help with, as much as how the US and India are working together to address problems, Biswal told PTI in an interview.

We have always said if you don't solve it in India, you can't solve it for the world, Biswal said before leaving for India, her first to the country in four years and first as the Deputy CEO of the DFC, which is a development finance institution and agency of the US.

Her four-day trip to India will start on Tuesday.

She said there are several areas -- like climate change and the issues of addressing global warming and controlling greenhouse gas emissions, supporting a clean energy transition
