New Delhi, January 21 (UITV)- Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated Donald Trump on becoming the 47th President of the United States. Describing Trump as his dear friend, Prime Minister Modi said that he is looking forward to working together once again to benefit both countries and create a better future for the world.

Donald Trump took oath as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025. Earlier, he became the 45th President of the country in 2017, but lost the 2020 presidential election. Now, his return has taken a new turn in US politics. PM Modi has sent his best wishes to him on this special occasion of his swearing-in, which makes it clear that the spirit of continued cooperation and partnership remains in the relations between India and America.
Heads of state and prominent leaders of many countries were present at Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar represented India in this swearing-in ceremony. Other high officials from India also attended the ceremony with him. US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath to Trump at the Capitol Rotunda. Normally, the US President takes his oath on the steps of the Capitol, but this time due to the cold conditions there, the ceremony, prayer and speech were held in the Rotunda.
Outgoing US President Joe Biden, his wife Jill Biden and other family members also attended this important swearing-in ceremony. Apart from this, outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama, former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton and former President George Bush Jr. and his wife Lara Bush were also present on this historic occasion. All these leaders marked their presence at Trump’s swearing-in, which was a symbol of the stability of American politics and democracy.
In addition, all the senior politicians of the country, top military officials and intelligence department officials also attended this swearing-in ceremony. A special feature of this ceremony was that the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC) had announced the theme “Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise” for the 60th Inaugural Ceremony last month, which emphasizes the stability of American democracy and constitutional values. This theme symbolizes that America is moving forward while maintaining its democratic institutions and values.
This message of congratulations by Prime Minister Modi to Donald Trump highlights not only personal friendship but also the strong partnership between the two countries. The relations between India and America have become stronger in the last few years and in this new term, Prime Minister Modi hopes that there will be even more cooperation between the two countries, which will benefit the people of both the countries and other countries of the world.
With this swearing-in ceremony, Trump’s second term has begun and now it remains to be seen in which direction he takes American politics, global cooperation and the internal situation of his country in the coming years. Only time will tell what kind of new direction America will take under Trump’s policy and his leadership.
