PM Modi Wishes Joe Biden Speedy Recovery from Prostate Cancer
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed heartfelt concern and extended best wishes to former U.S. President Joe Biden after his recent diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer. The message of support comes as Biden begins treatment for a high-grade form of the disease.
PM Modi’s Message of Solidarity
Taking to social media platform X, Prime Minister Modi wrote:
“Deeply concerned to hear about @JoeBiden’s health. Extend our best wishes to him for a quick and full recovery. Our thoughts are with Dr. Jill Biden and the family.”
This message reflects the close diplomatic rapport between the two leaders and underscores India’s support during Biden’s personal health challenge.
Biden’s Health Condition and Response
Joe Biden, who served as the 46th President of the United States, was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer characterized by a high Gleason score of 9, indicating an advanced stage. According to doctors, while the cancer has metastasized to the bones, it remains hormone-sensitive — a condition that could allow for responsive treatment.
In his first public statement following the announcement, Biden said:
“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.”
The emotional statement resonated with millions, drawing messages of solidarity from across the globe.
Global Reactions and Diplomatic Support
Leaders worldwide have joined in expressing support for Biden. Former U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama have all issued statements offering prayers and strength.
Prime Minister Modi’s message adds to the growing chorus of international voices wishing Biden a full recovery. It also reflects the continuity of mutual respect and diplomatic warmth between India and the United States, despite leadership changes.
The message serves not only as a personal gesture but also as a symbolic reaffirmation of enduring India-U.S. ties, grounded in empathy and global solidarity.
