On Monday, the Ministry of External Affairs announced that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will be making a trip to the United States of America from December 24-29. This visit is of great significance, as it takes place right before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump for his second term on January 20.
During his visit, Jaishankar will be meeting with his counterparts to discuss important matters related to bilateral, regional, and global issues. He will also be chairing a conference of the Consul Generals of India in the USA. This visit is a testament to the strong and growing relationship between India and the US.
This is not the first time that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached out to the US President. Last month, Modi called Trump to congratulate him on his victory in the Presidential elections. Modi expressed his eagerness to work closely with Trump once again, highlighting the potential for cooperation across various sectors such as technology, defence, energy, and space.
Trump, in turn, praised Modi and their friendship, stating that the whole world admires the Indian Prime Minister. He also called India a magnificent country and Modi a magnificent man. This exchange reflects the strong personal bond between the two leaders.
At the same time, PM Modi also shares a good rapport with US President Joe Biden. During Biden's four years as President, the relationship between the two democracies has grown, and the leaders have met personally several times. Just last year, they met on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Brazil and at Biden's home in Delaware.
Biden's visit to India for the G20 summit further cemented the strong ties between the two countries. During this visit, the leaders also upgraded the Quad, a group for Indo-Pacific cooperation that includes Japan and Australia, to the summit level. They also established the I2U2 group, comprising India, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States, to mirror the Quad on the western side of India.
In a state visit to Washington, PM Modi was welcomed with great pomp and show by Biden, who spoke highly of their ability to find new areas of cooperation. Together, they are unlocking a bright future with unlimited potential. This strong relationship between India and the US bodes well for the future of both nations and their commitment to global peace and cooperation.
