As part of continuing high-level bilateral consultations, U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the early hours of Saturday, a press release from the White House announced.
The two leaders discussed the just-concluded Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in Hyderabad in which Ivanka Trump, daughter of the U.S. President, participated as chief guest.
“President Donald J. Trump spoke today with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. The leaders expressed satisfaction with the recent Global Entrepreneurship Summit, co-hosted by the United States and India, which brought together entrepreneurs and investors from around the world, including 38 U.S. states, the District of Colombia, and Puerto Rico,” the White House said in a statement.
The telephone conversation was the first since the two leaders met in Manila on the sidelines of the ASEAN and East Asia Summit on November 13.
Mr Trump’s phone call came hours after former U.S. President Barack Obama was hosted by Mr. Modi in Hyderabad House.
Gender divides
The GES in Hyderabad highlighted women entrepreneurs and supporting economic growth globally.
“For all of our progress, gender divides on access to technology, nutrition, and health, preventing women, their families, and their communities from reaching their full potential,” State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert had said on Thursday.
