Modi speaks to Trump as India looks forward to renewed tryst

Trump, 78, pulled off a political comeback on Wednesday with a convincing victory in the US presidential election in a deeply divided nation, overcoming a criminal conviction and accusations of authoritarianism.

Modi was among the first few world leaders to speak to Trump on the phone on Wednesday evening and said in a post on X that he had a "great conversation with my friend, President @realDonaldTrump, congratulating him on his spectacular victory".

He said he was looking forward to working closely with Trump again to further strengthen India-US relations across technology, defence, energy, space and other sectors.

Earlier, Modi joined world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in congratulating Trump on X.

"Together, let's work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity," he said in a separate post on X.

People familiar with the conversation said both leaders agreed to work together for world peace. They quoted Trump as saying that India is a magnificent country and Modi is a "magnificent man".
