Trump hails Modi as 'strong, healthy, wise man' on becoming India's longest-serving leader

Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, joined a chorus of global leaders in congratulating Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on reaching a significant milestone: becoming India's longest-serving elected premier. Trump took to his Truth Social platform to share his praise, calling Modi a "strong, healthy, and wise man" and predicting continued "Greatness and Success."

“

Congratulations to my friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on becoming India’s longest-serving Prime Minister – And a Great One he is!

Modi, in turn, responded to Trump's message, expressing his thanks and stating his eagerness to work together. He specifically mentioned advancing the "India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership" for the benefit of both nations and the world.

He is a strong, healthy, and wise man, and will have many years of Greatness and Success ahead of him!

This exchange highlights the ongoing diplomatic communication between the two leaders. Earlier this year, they had jointly announced progress on a trade deal to address U.S. tariffs and discussed international crises, including efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Modi also reached out to other world leaders who sent congratulatory messages, including those from Italy, Sweden, Germany, Nepal, Israel, Denmark, Canada, and the European Union.

Thank you, President Trump, for your warm wishes.
