The US President Donald Trump praised Narendra Modi’s leadership and longevity in office, while the Prime Minister reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the India-US strategic partnership.
United States President Donald J. Trump extended warm congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he became India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister, describing him as a “strong, healthy and wise man” and expressing confidence in his continued success.
In a message shared publicly, President Trump hailed Prime Minister Modi’s political achievement and leadership, stating, “Congratulations to my friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on becoming India’s longest-serving Prime Minister – And a Great One he is! He is a strong, healthy, and wise man, and will have many years of Greatness and Success ahead of him!”
The congratulatory message came as Prime Minister Modi crossed a historic milestone in Indian politics, becoming the longest-serving elected Prime Minister in the country’s history. The achievement marks another landmark in his political journey, which has seen him lead the nation through multiple terms and oversee significant policy initiatives across governance, infrastructure, diplomacy and economic development.
Responding to Trump’s message, Prime Minister Modi thanked the US President for his wishes and highlighted the importance of the relationship between the two democracies.
“Thank you, President Trump, for your warm wishes,” PM Modi said in his response.
The Prime Minister further emphasized his commitment to deepening bilateral cooperation between India and the United States.
“I look forward to working with you to further advance the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, for the benefit of both our nations and the world,” he added.
The exchange of messages underscores the close diplomatic engagement between New Delhi and Washington. Over the years, India and the United States have expanded cooperation in a wide range of areas, including defence, trade, technology, energy, education and people-to-people ties.
The India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership has emerged as a key pillar of bilateral relations, with both countries working together on regional and global challenges. Strategic cooperation has intensified in areas such as critical and emerging technologies, supply chain resilience, maritime security and economic growth.
Trump’s remarks also reflect the personal rapport that has developed between the two leaders over the years. Their interactions during previous administrations were marked by large public events, high-level diplomatic engagements and efforts to strengthen cooperation between the world’s two largest democracies.
Prime Minister Modi’s record-breaking tenure has drawn attention from leaders and governments across the world. Congratulatory messages have been pouring in from international partners, reflecting India’s growing role on the global stage and the significance of Modi’s leadership in shaping the country’s domestic and foreign policy trajectory.
As India continues its journey toward its long-term development goals, the Prime Minister’s historic milestone has become a moment of reflection on the country’s democratic evolution and its expanding influence in international affairs.
The exchange between Trump and Modi highlighted not only personal goodwill but also the enduring strategic importance of the India-US partnership in an increasingly interconnected world.
