Washington: United States President Joe Biden has congratulated former Indian PM Narendra Modi on a phone call after his party clinched the most number of seats in the recently-concluded Lok Sabha elections.
According to the White House, the US president also discussed his national security adviser Jake Sullivan's upcoming visit to India in the call with Modi.
Separately, the State Department expressed Washington's anticipation towards its cooperation with New Delhi to ensure a free Indo-Pacific region.
Biden, a day earlier, posted about the US’s “friendship” with India on X, formerly Twitter.
“The friendship between our nations is only growing as we unlock a shared future of unlimited potential,” the president said in the post.
Modi, whose National Democratic Alliance retained power with a surprisingly slim majority in voting results announced on Tuesday, called the US-India partnership “a force for global good.”
