In a heartfelt message that underscores the deepening bonds between the world’s two largest democracies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated US President Donald J. Trump and the American people on the historic 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence.
Marking a milestone that traces back to the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the enduring strength of the India-US partnership, describing it as far more than a strategic alliance — one rooted in shared democratic values, the rule of law, and an unshakeable belief in human potential.
The Prime Minister took to social media platform X to deliver his message directly:
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
Over the past decade, India-US ties have witnessed remarkable momentum — from expanded defense cooperation and joint military exercises to booming trade, technology collaborations, and people-to-people ties. With millions of Indians and Indian-Americans contributing significantly to American society, the relationship has evolved into a comprehensive global strategic partnership.
Prime Minister Modi’s message comes at a time when both countries are navigating a complex global landscape. By emphasizing democracy and the rule of law as cornerstones, the statement reinforces the ideological foundation that binds the two nations together.
As America celebrates 250 years of independence with grand festivities, parades, and reflections on its journey, Modi’s greetings signal India’s eagerness to partner with the United States for the next quarter millennium — working together toward peace, prosperity, and progress for both nations and the world.
