Say “Cooperation for global peace to continue”
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump held a “warm and engaging” conversation on Thursday, reviewing the progress in India-US bilateral relations and discussing regional and international developments.
The Prime Minister confirmed the call via a post on X, underscoring the enduring commitment of the two nations to global stability. “Had a very warm and engaging conversation with President Trump,” Prime Minister Modi posted.
“We reviewed the progress in our bilateral relations and discussed regional and international developments. India and the U.S. will continue to work together for global peace, stability and prosperity.”
The conversation comes amid complex global dynamics, including the implementation of the first stage of the US-led peace plan in Gaza, and talks advancing on the US-brokered peace plan on ending the conflict in Ukraine.
India has always maintained that dialogue and diplomacy are the way forward to resolve conflicts.
Sources familiar with the details of the call indicated that the two leaders focused on translating the shared vision of the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership into tangible outcomes.
“The review of bilateral progress covered key areas such as technology, trade, energy, and defence cooperation, which have seen significant momentum in recent years,” a diplomatic source stated.
“Both leaders expressed satisfaction with the trajectory of the relationship, which is fundamentally anchored in mutual trust and shared democratic values.”
The exchange is expected to set the tone for future high-level engagements, with an emphasis on accelerating cooperation on critical and emerging technologies.
The talks also come amid negotiations between both sides on a free trade agreement, with several rounds of discussions having been held to iron out the troubling issues.
The commitment to “global peace, stability and prosperity” highlighted in Prime Minister Modi’s post is a recurring theme in the discussions between the two leaders, reflecting the growing geopolitical alignment between India and the US.
President Trump, who recently reaffirmed his “great respect and love for Prime Minister Modi” in a public address, has consistently praised the Indian leader’s handling of complex international issues.
The call reinforces the importance of the India-US partnership as a critical pillar for addressing international challenges and advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific.
The leaders agreed to remain in close touch and are expected to explore opportunities to meet in person in the near future.
