Earlier in the day, PM Modi drew a parallel between India's "Viksit Bharat" vision and the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) slogan in the United States, coining the term "Make India Great Again" (MIGA).
Taking to social media platform X, PM Modi noted that India and the US have formed a "MEGA" partnership to drive prosperity for both nations.
"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!" the Prime Minister said in a post.
This is Prime Minister Modi's first visit to the United States since President Donald Trump's inauguration for his second presidential term last month.
PM Modi is among the first world leaders to visit the United States following the inauguration of President Trump and has been invited to the US within barely three weeks of the new administration.
Following the bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri provided a detailed overview of the key initiatives launched during the visit and said that the leaders launched Mission-500 in the sector of trade and investment, aiming to more than double two-way trade to USD 500 billion by 2030.
He added that the leaders unveiled the US-India Compact for the 21st Century, aimed at accelerating military partnerships, commerce, and technological advancements. Modi also displayed his knowledge of algebraic equations, acquired during his training in political science. He first likened Indo-Canada relations to "(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab". (ANI)
