Prime Minister Modi said India and the US should work to promote global peace, stability, and prosperity
Congratulating “friend” Donald Trump on his “historic election victory” in the US Presidential Election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said he looks forward to renewing the collaboration between the two countries to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership.
Prime Minister Modi also said that India and the US should work to promote global peace, stability, and prosperity as Trump builds on the successes of his previous term as US President.
Prime Minister Modi’s message came after counting trends for the US Presidential Election indicated a clear win for the Republican Party headed by Trump.
"Heartiest congratulations my friend @realDonaldTrump on your historic election victory. As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership. Together, let’s work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity," he said in social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Prime Minister Modi shared a warm relationship marked by camaraderie and close cooperation on bilateral as well as strategic issues during Trump's previous term as President. Two public events, ‘Howdy Modi’ in Houston, US in September 2019 and ‘Namaste Trump’ in Ahmedabad, India in 2020 showcased the close personal rapport between the two leaders. The two leaders first met in Washington DC in June 2017.
Earlier, speaking at a joint press conference alongside Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong in Canberra on Tuesday (November 5, 2024), External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the India-US relationship would “only grow” irrespective of the outcome of the US President elections. He pointed to the steady growth in the bilateral relationship over the past five US presidencies, including Trump's. On Quad, EAM Jaishankar said it had been revived under the previous Trump presidency in 2017.
“We have actually seen steady progress in our relationship with the U.S. over the last five presidencies, including an earlier Trump presidency. So, when we look at the American election, you know we are very confident that whatever the verdict, our relationship with the United States will only grow,” he said when asked about the possibility of Trump winning the election in the US.
"In terms of the Quad, I remind that Quad was actually revived under a Trump presidency in 2017. It was then moved from the level of a Permanent Secretary to a Minister also during the Trump presidency. It's also interesting that in the midst of Covid, when physical meetings had pretty much stopped, one of the rare meetings of Foreign Ministers was of the Quad in Tokyo in 2020," EAM Jaishankar added.
