New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday extended warm greetings to US President Donald J. Trump and the people of the United States on the historic occasion of the country’s 250th Independence Day, reaffirming the strong and enduring partnership between the world’s two largest democracies.
In a message shared on social media platform X, Prime Minister Modi congratulated President Trump and the American people as the United States marked two and a half centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. He described the occasion as a celebration of America’s remarkable journey and its enduring democratic traditions.
Highlighting the close ties between India and the United States, PM Modi said the relationship has evolved into a comprehensive global strategic partnership built on shared values such as democracy, freedom, the rule of law, and mutual respect. He emphasized that the friendship between the two nations continues to grow stronger across multiple sectors, benefiting not only the people of both countries but also contributing to global peace, stability, and economic progress.
Over the years, India-US relations have expanded significantly, with cooperation spanning defence, trade, technology, clean energy, healthcare, education, space exploration, and critical emerging technologies. The two countries have also strengthened collaboration in the Indo-Pacific region while deepening people-to-people ties through the vibrant Indian diaspora in the United States.
PM Modi’s message comes at a time when India and the US continue to enhance strategic cooperation on regional and global challenges. His greetings reflected India’s commitment to further strengthening bilateral relations and working closely with the United States on issues of mutual interest.
The United States celebrated its 250th Independence Day with nationwide events, including parades, fireworks, cultural programmes, and commemorative ceremonies honouring the country’s history and democratic legacy. The milestone marks 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, a defining moment that laid the foundation for the United States as an independent nation.
Prime Minister Modi’s congratulatory message underscores the importance India attaches to its partnership with the United States and signals New Delhi’s desire to further deepen cooperation in the years ahead.
As both nations continue to expand collaboration across strategic, economic, technological, and cultural spheres, the anniversary also serves as a reminder of the shared democratic ideals that continue to strengthen one of the world’s most significant bilateral relationships.
