WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Joe Biden will not travel to India next month, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Nikkei Asia Wednesday, due to the tight political calendar.

He had been invited by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to be chief guest of the Republic Day parade on Jan. 26. There were also talks of holding a Quad summit the following day in New Delhi with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
