WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden travelled to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to attend the late Vice President Walter Mondale's funeral service.

During the funeral service at the University of Minnesota on Sunday, Biden recalled his decades-long friendship with Mondale, the report said. Mondale died in April 2021 at the age of 93, although his burial was postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

After two terms in the Senate representing Minnesota, he served as Vice President under Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981. In the 1984 presidential election, he was the Democratic Party's nominee, but he lost to Republican Ronald Reagan.

From 1993 to 1996, Mondale served as the United States Ambassador to Japan throughout Bill Clinton's presidency.
