Also, to strengthen the global strategic partnership between the two countries There is also a desire. There has been a conversation between the two leaders about Prime Minister Modi’s visit to America.

Shringla said that after the presence of External Affairs Minister Dr. Jaishankar at the swearing -in ceremony in Capital Hill and the invitation sent to Prime Minister Modi for the visit to America after taking over as President Trump, we have started work on the ground. There will be a significant change in Indo-US relations before President Trump’s visit to India and the Quad Summit to be held in India later this year. There are some issues that can be considered challenging, such as moving towards fair bilateral trade relations, exile of illegal immigrants and the purchase of US -made defense equipment. But these problems can be solved properly.

Shringla said that India has never supported illegal immigration. Indian officials in Washington have always helped in exile of illegal immigrants. Efforts are being made to organize legal migration in the US, as it is an important source of talent for America. In addition, if the process for H-1B visa or green card is simple, then many youths of India will get better opportunities. Shringla said, “It should be an important part of our relationship with America.”

On bilateral trade relations, he said that India was talking on a partial free trade agreement with the US in Trump’s first term and this talks could start soon. As a result, trade between the two countries will increase and there will be more access to each other’s market. He also said that this step will avoid issues like tariff, which can be at the top of Trump’s mind.

In the context of the purchase of US -made security equipment, Shringla said that it has always been a part of the discussion with the American side. America will not have any problem in giving India the equipment that India needs, and it should be included in the overall dialogue. In addition, it will also put a pressure on India to increase the purchase of US defense equipment, and this issue can also be resolved properly.

He stressed that there is good relations between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump, which will be helpful in strengthening the relationship between the two countries. The chemistry between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump has been seen in Houston in programs like ‘Houdi Modi’ and ‘Namaste Trump’ in Ahmedabad, where deep friendship and mutual respect was shown between the two leaders. These programs gave a new direction to the relationship between the two countries and strengthened bilateral relations.

Shringla said that individual relations between Prime Ministers and Presidents often play an important role in the relationship of countries. There is a special chemistry between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump, which has been publicly shown by the two leaders several times. Good relationships are the basis of progress in bilateral relationships, and the chemistry between Modi and Trump in this regard can become a strong basis.

He said that Monday’s conversation was very positive. This will further improve Indo-US relations. With more dialogue and cooperation between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump, the relationship between the two countries will be stronger, and the efforts in this direction will prove to be beneficial for both countries in future.
