Both leaders reiterated the importance of the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, for the benefit of the people of the two countries as well as for global peace and stability.

They reaffirmed their commitment to working together to further strengthen bilateral ties across technology, defence, energy, space and several other sectors.

"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 promote global peace, stability and prosperity," PM Modi said in a post on X.
