A bi-conditional statement is one which says that if any one of two statements is true, the other is true, too. It generally takes the form, X is true if and only if Y is true, or X is equivalent to Y, where X and Y are simpler statements.

Is The converse of a biconditional statement is always true?
No, not always. It depends on if the original biconditional statement is true. For example take the following biconditional statement:x = 3 if and only if x2 = 9.From this biconditional statement we can extract two conditional statements (hence why it is called a bicondional statement):The Conditional Statement: If x = 3 then x2 = 9.This statement is true. However, the second statement we can extract is called the converse.The Converse: If x2=9 then x = 3.This statement is false, because x could also equal -3. Since this is false, it makes the entire original biconditional statement false.All it takes to prove that a statement is false is one counterexample.
