Indian PM Modi Congratulates US President Donald Trump, Wishes for a Successful Term

New Delhi — In a gesture symbolizing the continued warmth and strategic partnership between India and the United States, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended his congratulations to Donald Trump upon his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025. Modi’s message, shared via social media platform X, not only acknowledged Trump’s historic second term but also expressed a commitment to furthering the bilateral ties that have flourished under their leadership.

“Congratulations my dear friend President Donald Trump on your historic inauguration as the 47th President of the United States! I look forward to working closely together once again, to benefit both our countries, and to shape a better future for the world. Best wishes for a successful term ahead!” PM Modi tweeted, encapsulating the spirit of cooperation that has defined Indo-US relations in recent years.

This second term for Trump is a rare event in U.S. political history, akin to Grover Cleveland’s non-consecutive terms in the late 19th century. The ceremony took place indoors in the Capitol Rotunda due to harsh winter conditions, with Chief Justice John Roberts administering the oath of office.

The relationship between Modi and Trump has been marked by significant diplomatic engagements, including high-profile state visits, military collaborations, and agreements in technology, trade, and energy. Modi’s message reflects an anticipation of deepening this multifaceted partnership, especially in areas like defense, where both nations have seen an uptick in joint military exercises and defense contracts.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar attended the inauguration as Modi’s special envoy, signaling the high regard India places on this relationship. Jaishankar’s presence in Washington, D.C., was not just ceremonial but also a strategic move to ensure continuity in dialogue at the highest levels, particularly amidst the backdrop of a global order facing new challenges.

Trump’s speech during the inauguration underscored his agenda for a return to what he describes as American greatness, with immediate plans for executive actions on immigration, energy policy, and trade. His policies have often aligned with India’s strategic interests, especially in countering China’s influence in the Asia-Pacific region, although there have been points of friction, particularly around trade issues.

The international community’s response to Trump’s second term has been varied, with leaders from around the globe offering their congratulations, reflecting the global implications of U.S. policy under his leadership. Modi’s message stands out not only for its cordiality but for its forward-looking stance, suggesting a proactive approach to continue shaping the strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific and beyond.

This congratulatory note from Modi also comes at a time when both countries navigate complex global issues like climate change, cybersecurity, and the post-COVID economic recovery, where cooperation could yield significant benefits. The statement from Modi also hints at India’s readiness to engage with the U.S. on these fronts, potentially influencing global economic and security architecture in the coming years.

As Trump embarks on his second term, the world watches how this relationship evolves, especially in light of Trump’s domestic and foreign policy priorities. Modi’s message serves as a reminder of the potential for continued collaboration, aiming not just for bilateral gains but for a broader impact on global peace and prosperity.
