Washington D.C.: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a joint briefing with US President Donald Trump on Thursday, introduced India’s vision of ‘Make India Great Again’ (MIGA), drawing inspiration from Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA) slogan. Modi emphasized that the synergy between MAGA and MIGA would create a “mega partnership for prosperity.”
“The people of America are well aware of President Trump’s motto ‘MAGA – Make America Great Again.’ Similarly, India is advancing towards the goal of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047.’ In the American context, this translates to ‘Make India Great Again’ – MIGA. When America and India work together, MAGA plus MIGA forms a ‘mega partnership for prosperity’ that expands the scale and scope of our collaboration,” PM Modi said.
Reinforcing this vision, Modi posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter):
“President Trump often talks about MAGA. In India, we are working towards a Viksit Bharat, which in the American context translates into MIGA. And together, India and the USA have a MEGA partnership for prosperity!”
India-US Set $500 Billion Trade Target by 2030
The two leaders announced a bold new trade target of $500 billion by 2030, more than doubling the current bilateral trade volume. Modi highlighted ongoing efforts to finalize a mutually beneficial trade agreement soon.
“Our teams will work on finalizing a trade agreement that will benefit both nations. We are moving ahead in the direction of joint development, joint production, and technology transfer,” he said.
Key areas of cooperation include:
✅ Oil and gas trade to ensure India’s energy security
✅ Investment in energy infrastructure
✅ Deeper collaboration in nuclear energy, particularly in small modular reactors
✅ Strengthening India’s defense capabilities with advanced technology and equipment from the US
PM Modi became the fourth world leader to visit the US after Trump’s re-election. His visit included meetings with both President Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Thursday.
