US Senator John Cornyn congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming the longest-serving PM of India, praising the strong India-US ties under Modi's leadership.
Cornyn, a Republican senator and ally of former US President Donald Trump, said Modi's leadership has earned the trust of 1.4 billion people across three democratic mandates.
Modi's tenure has been marked by significant achievements, including lifting 250 million people out of poverty and making India the world's fastest-growing major economy.
The US-India partnership has never been stronger, Cornyn wrote in an X post, as the two countries negotiate a bilateral trade deal.
India and the US have seen a significant turnaround in ties, with Trump stating that he 'likes PM Modi a lot' and that the two countries are close to a trade deal.
