Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U S President Donald Trump have spoken to each other twice since the November 2024 US election results. The last conversation being on 27th January, when they discussed commitment to a stronger partnership and regional security issues.
The expected dates of the PM Modi’s US travel are from 12th to 14th February.
The visit of the Indian PM comes very early on in the term of the new US administration. In fact, PM Modi is among the first world leaders to meet US President Trump in the White House, following Israel PM Netanyahu, who is the first leader to meet Trump, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who meets the US President on February 11th.
During the January conversation, the two leaders discussed commitment to a stronger partnership between their countries and regional security issues in the Indo-Pacific, Middle East, and Europe. They also had a conversation on bilateral trade and defence cooperation, with Trump emphasising on ‘fair trade’ and increased procurement of US security equipment.
The White House said, “Both leaders emphasised their commitment to advance the U.S.-India strategic partnership and the Indo-Pacific Quad partnership, with India hosting Quad Leaders for the first time later this year.”
The call had then also set the stage for Modi’s anticipated visit to the US in February 2025. “The leaders discussed plans for Prime Minister Modi to visit the White House, underscoring the strength of the friendship and strategic ties between our nations,” the White House readout stated.
India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar had represented India at Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony as the 47th President of the United States on January 20 at the invitation of the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.
During his visit, Jaishankar held meetings with key representatives of the incoming Trump administration, including new US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, setting the tone for future diplomatic relations.
In fact, the first bilateral meeting Rubio had after taking charge as the Secretary of State was with EAM Dr S Jaishankar.
PM Modi will travel to the US from France following his participation in the Artificial Intelligence Summit in Paris. The summit, scheduled for February 10-11, will discuss the future of artificial intelligence, its governance, and its role in shaping international policies.
As per the plan, PM Modi will travel to Washington DC after concluding his two-day visit to Paris. Although neither the White House nor the External Affairs Ministry has officially confirmed it, both parties are considering February 12 and 13 as potential dates.
Earlier on January 27, PM Modi and US President Donald Trump held a telephonic conversation where both discussed various issues including illegal immigration and boosting trade. This was their first phone conversation since the American leader’s inauguration last week.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would probably be visiting the White House for a meeting with him in February.
“I had a long talk with him this morning (Monday). He is going to be coming to the White House, over next month, probably February. We have a very good relationship with India,” Trump had told reporters aboard Air Force One, then.
