Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said he had a "warm" telephonic conversation with new US President Donald Trump and invited him to India for an official visit.
Hours after the Prime Minister spoke to Trump late Tuesday night, Modi in a series of tweets said they agreed to work closely to strengthen bilateral ties.
"Had a warm conversation with President @realDonaldTrump late last evening. President @realDonaldTrump and I agreed to work closely in the coming days to further strengthen our bilateral ties," Modi said.
The White House in a statement on Tuesday said Trump considers India a "true friend" of the US.
Trump also extended an invitation to Modi for a visit later this year.
