Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump engaged in a telephone conversation on Wednesday to assess and enhance bilateral cooperation across several key areas, including trade, defense, energy, and critical technologies. The dialogue underscored both nations’ commitment to strengthening the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership.
Modi described the exchange as productive, noting that the two leaders discussed maintaining close engagement to further their strategic partnership. They also shared perspectives on regional and international developments, with a mutual interest in promoting global peace and security.
This conversation comes amid ongoing discussions between India and the United States on trade and other areas of bilateral cooperation. The talks reflect India’s broader diplomatic strategy of engaging with multiple international partners, a position emphasized by India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, who has recently noted the importance of navigating an increasingly multipolar world.
