PM Modi US Visit: The strengthening friendship and bilateral cooperation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump has given a new height to India-US relations. In this context, Prime Minister Modi gave the mantra of 'Make India Great Again' (MIGA) on the lines of US President Trump's famous slogan 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA). This idea lays the foundation of a 'MEGA' partnership between India and the US, which will pave the way for a prosperous future for both countries.Concept of MEGA PartnershipPrime Minister Modi said during the joint press conference that when the US and India work together, MAGA and MIGA together form a "MEGA" (Mutually Enhancing Growth and Advancement) partnership. Referring to India's 'Developed India 2047' resolution, he said that it is extremely important for India's economic and technological development.New framework in defense, energy and technologyPrime Minister Modi and President Trump agreed to prepare a new action plan to enhance cooperation in the fields of defense, energy and critical technology in bilateral talks. To further strengthen defence cooperation between the US and India, special attention was paid to the partnership of high-tech defence systems. Also, there was discussion on exploring new possibilities in the field of energy security and developing green energy solutions.Trump-Modi's warm meetingDuring the meeting in the Oval Office, President Trump warmly welcomed Prime Minister Modi and described him as "a great friend" and "a wonderful person". Modi recalled the growing scope of India-US relations under Trump's leadership and expressed commitment to further strengthen bilateral relations in his second term.India's national interest is paramountPrime Minister Modi also made it clear on this occasion that just as President Trump gives top priority to the national interest of America, he also gives top priority to the national interest of India. He said that the basis of relations between India and America is based on mutual respect and shared interests, which will benefit both the countries in the long run.Discussion on social media tooPosting on the social media platform 'X', Prime Minister Modi wrote, "President Trump often talks about 'MAGA'. In India, we are working towards a developed India under 'MIGA'. A 'MEGA' partnership is being formed between India-America which will give a new dimension to prosperity."Trump's special giftDuring this important meeting, President Trump presented a special coffee table book 'Our Journey Together' to Prime Minister Modi. The book mentions the unforgettable moments of friendship between the two leaders. Trump signed it and wrote, "Mr. Prime Minister, you are great."ConclusionThe proposal of 'MIGA' by Prime Minister Modi is an important step towards India's emergence as a global power. This 'MEGA' partnership between the US and India will not only be economically and strategically important, but will also open the door to new opportunities for the citizens of both countries. This cooperation will become a symbol of prosperity and stability for both countries in the years to come.
