Washington : The US President Joe Biden addressed the nation on the anniversary of 9/11 attacks and urged people to show unity.

"To me, that's the central lesson of September 11th. It's that at our most vulnerable, in the push and pull of all that makes us human, in the battle for the soul of America, unity is our greatest strength," Biden says in a six-minute message from the White House.

20 years after September 11, 2001, we commemorate the 2,977 lives we lost and honor those who risked and gave their lives. As we saw in the days that followed, unity is our greatest strength. It’s what makes us who we are — and we can’t forget that. pic.twitter.com/WysK8m3LAb

On Saturday, Joe Biden and the first lady have been scheduled to visit the three sites where 9/11 attacks had happened - New York, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.

Joe Biden is not expected to make public speeches during the events.

"Unity doesn't mean we have to believe the same thing, but we must have a fundamental respect and faith in each other and in this nation," Biden says in his video remarks.
