Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that his visit to the United States would be an opportunity to build upon the success of his collaboration with Donald Trump, US president, in his first term. He said this in his departure statement as he embarks on his visit to France from where he will reach the US.
He said, “From France, I will proceed on a two-day visit to the United States at the invitation of President Donald Trump. I look forward to meeting my friend, President Trump.” Emphasising it to be the first meeting with Trump after he made a comeback, he recalled 2019 when both leaders worked together. He said, “Although this will be our first meeting following his historic electoral victory and inauguration in January, I have a very warm recollection of working together in his first term in building a Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership between India and the US.”
