India-US relations strengthen under PM Modi, Donald Trump: Piyush Goyal

Lauding the strong India-US relations, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that both nations want to further strengthen their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and the friendship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump is the harbinger of strong bilateral ties.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Asia Economic Dialogue on Thursday, Goyal said, "I think that India and the United States want to improve their relationship, whether it is in relation to investment, in relation to business, or in relation to technology or our comprehensive strategic partnership in relation to defence."

"Every year it is increasing...and the relationship between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump is so good that I have no doubt that in the coming days India and America are two democratic countries and good relations and big business and will work closely," he added.
