Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday congratulated 'friend' Donald Trump after he won the US presidential election, capping a stunning political comeback four years after he left the White House, Reuters reports.
"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," Modi wrote on X.
While US-India ties grew under former Biden, the conservative Hindu nationalist leader Modi was also close to Trump, who received an adulatory reception when he visited India in 2020 as more than 100,000 people packed into a cricket stadium to see him, according to an AP report.
