Modi Shares Details of Call
In a post on X, Prime Minister Modi described Trump as “my friend” and said the two leaders reviewed progress in bilateral cooperation across several sectors.
He added that both sides also discussed the West Asia situation and agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and secure for the benefit of the whole world.
Modi said India supports de-escalation and the restoration of peace as soon as possible.
Why Strait of Hormuz Matters
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important shipping routes, especially for oil and gas trade.
For India, uninterrupted movement through the route is critical because the country imports a large amount of energy through the Gulf region.
Any disruption could increase oil prices and create supply problems worldwide.
Strong India-US Partnership
The two leaders also discussed continued growth in the India-US strategic partnership.
Cooperation between both countries has expanded in defence, technology, trade, energy, and supply chains in recent years.
Call Comes During Regional Tensions
The phone call came shortly after recent US-Iran talks in Islamabad ended without a deal.
Tensions in West Asia remain high following conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran.
Leaders Agree to Stay in Contact
Both Trump and Modi agreed to remain in touch regarding efforts for peace and stability.
The latest conversation also reflects the strong personal relationship between the two leaders during a time of major international uncertainty.
