US Vice President Joe Biden will visit India and Singapore in July to underscore the importance of relations with the two nations, the White House said.

In India, Biden will discuss a full range of bilateral, regional and global issues, "with a focus on advancing the prosperity, security and shared values of our two countries", Xinhua quoted the White House as saying in a statement.

Secretary of State John Kerry is currently on a three-day visit to India -- June 23-25 -- for the fourth annual US-India Strategic Dialogue.

During his stay in Singapore, Biden will consult leaders on a range of shared priorities, including implementing the Asia-Pacific rebalance, and highlight America's "continued engagement with a key partner in Southeast Asia", the White House said.
