On the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, former U.S. President Donald Trump personally reached out with warm wishes and words of appreciation. In his message, Trump lauded Modi for doing a “tremendous job” in leading India on the global stage and reaffirmed his admiration for the Prime Minister’s leadership.

According to reports, the phone conversation also touched upon international issues. Trump thanked Modi for his constructive support in efforts toward finding a peaceful resolution to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, reflecting the growing importance of India’s role in global diplomacy.

In response, Prime Minister Modi expressed gratitude for the greetings, describing Trump as a “friend” of India. He also reiterated his commitment to strengthening the India-U.S. Comprehensive and Global Partnership, highlighting cooperation in trade, technology, and international peace efforts. Modi assured that India stands firmly in favor of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve global crises.

The birthday greetings from Trump were part of a wider wave of international wishes pouring in for Modi as he entered his 75th year. Leaders such as UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, New Zealand’s Christopher Luxon, the Dalai Lama, and philanthropist Bill Gates also extended their congratulations, underscoring Modi’s global stature.
