The biggest and most relieving news of global diplomacy is emerging from the platform of the G-7 Summit held in the beautiful city of Evian in France. On the sidelines of the conference, a very important and historic bilateral meeting was held between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump. When these two most powerful leaders of the world met each other after a long gap of about 16 months, tremendous warmth and deep friendship was clearly visible between the two. During this meeting, President Trump has given an unprecedented statement regarding India’s security and sovereignty, which has created a stir in the strategic corridors of global politics.

In this high-level talks between the two leaders, many strategic issues including defence, trade and global security were discussed in depth.

There is no formal security treaty, yet America will stand first for India

Making a very important policy stance clear during the bilateral meeting, US President Donald Trump described India as his most trusted friend. Trump said very boldly that even though on paper we (America) do not have any formal or written military security agreement with India, but I want to make it clear that during my presidency, if any attack or aggression is shown on India by any enemy country, America will be the first to be present there to help India with full force. This statement of Trump is being considered as a big and direct warning to those countries which are continuously trying to spread instability in South Asia and the Indo-Pacific region.

Modi-Trump meeting after 16 months, India’s prestige increased on the global stage

The meeting between the heads of state of India and America in this summit was very special in many ways. There was no direct face-to-face meeting between the two leaders on any international platform for the last 16 months. Diplomatic analysts believe that this latest and aggressive statement by Trump reflects his personal attachment towards India and the growing stature of New Delhi in Washington’s geopolitical priorities. After this meeting, it has become clear that America considers India not just a trading partner but a very strong and essential pillar on the global security front.
