To continue strong bilateral
relations between the two countries, US President Donald Trump will speak to
Prime Minister Narendra Modi late on Tuesday. Trump is scheduled to speak to
Modi at 11.30 pm Indian time.
Last week, PM Modi congratulated
Prez Trump on assuming the office and said he looked forward to working with
him to further deepen the bilateral ties and realise the full potential of
their cooperation.
The Prime Minister also said that
the strength of the India-US strategic partnership "lies in our shared
values and common interests". Before
the US Presidential elections, calling India as a "key strategic
ally", Trump had promised India and the US would become "best
friends" if he was voted to power and have a "phenomenal
future" together. "Under a
Trump Administration, we are going to become even better friends, in fact I
would take the term better out and we would be best friends," Trump, had
said to a cheering crowd of Indian-Americans at a charity event organised by
the Republican Hindu Coalition.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's 'Buy
American-hire American' rallying cry has put the $150- billion Indian IT
industry on edge, which is in a wait-and-watch mode to see how the new
administration evolves policies around outsourcing and movement of skilled
workers.
