New Delhi, March 27: The American Embassy in India highlighted a statement from President Donald Trump on Friday, where he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “leader who gets things done.” The embassy expressed confidence that India-US relations will strengthen in the coming years.
The timing and message of the embassy’s social media post drew attention amid ongoing conflicts in West Asia. In a post on the social media platform X, President Trump stated, “Our great relationship with India will only get stronger. Prime Minister Modi and I are two people who get things done, which cannot be said for most.”
This update follows a phone conversation between the two leaders on Tuesday. During the call, they discussed critical issues regarding the Iran conflict. After the conversation, PM Modi reiterated India’s stance on the strategic importance of the Hormuz Strait for peace restoration in West Asia and global trade.
PM Modi posted on X, “President Trump called, and we had a good exchange of views on the situation in West Asia. India supports de-escalation and restoration of peace as soon as possible. Ensuring that the Hormuz Strait remains open, secure, and accessible is essential for the entire world. We agreed to stay in touch regarding efforts for peace and stability.”
During the phone call, both leaders emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the region. PM Modi stressed that keeping the Hormuz Strait open, secure, and accessible is crucial for global interests.
Both sides agreed to maintain close discussions on ensuring regional security and the safety of global shipping lanes.
It is noteworthy that this conversation occurred amid rising tensions following attacks by the US and Israel on Iran on February 28, which resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In retaliation, Iran targeted US and Israeli locations, capitals, and allied forces with drone and missile strikes. This conflict has impacted the global market, with energy prices becoming highly sensitive to regional developments.
President Trump and PM Modi have maintained a high-level political partnership over the past few years, characterized by significant public events, strategic discussions, and mutual praise.
Their collaboration spans key areas such as trade, defense, and a broad strategic partnership, reflecting a rapidly evolving and results-oriented bilateral relationship.
