In a significant diplomatic exchange, a US Congressional delegation met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, extending congratulations on his historic third consecutive term. The delegation, led by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, expressed profound appreciation for the scale and transparency of the recently-concluded Indian general elections, according to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

Describing the India-US relationship as the 'most consequential one,' the delegation underscored their commitment to fortifying the Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, spanning areas such as trade, emerging technology, defense, and people-to-people exchanges.

Prime Minister Modi highlighted on social media the importance he places on this bipartisan support from the US Congress for enhancing bilateral ties. He commended the role of shared democratic values, rule of law, and robust interpersonal connections. Modi reiterated his dedication to strengthening these ties for global benefit and reminisced about his address to the US Congress during his state visit last June.
