'India lucky to have him as PM', Trump congratulates Modi, fixes meet at G-20


Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G-20 meeting in the Japanese city of Osaka next month, a statement from the government said on Friday.
“They also agreed to work together for further enhancing the close and strategic partnership between the two countries,” the statement said referring to a telephonic conversation between Trump and Modi on Friday. This came after Trump put out a Twitter message congratulating the Indian prime minister on Thursday on his election win.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party won 303 seats in the 545 member Parliament, with the opposition Congress party left far behind with a tally of just over 50 seats.
The meeting between Trump and Modi comes as the US is set to withdraw some preferential trade measures for India under the Generalised System of Preferences, in a bid to ensure fair trade between the two countries.
