Modi, in a post on X, said he had “received a call from my friend President Trump”, with the two leaders also taking stock of the “substantial progress” achieved in bilateral cooperation across sectors.
“We are committed to further strengthening our Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership in all areas,” the Prime Minister said, signalling continuity in deepening India-US ties even as geopolitical uncertainties intensify.
The discussion assumes significance against the backdrop of heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz — a critical artery for global energy supplies — where recent developments have raised concerns over potential disruptions to shipping and oil flows.
"We reviewed the substantial progress achieved in our bilateral cooperation in various sectors," Modi wrote further.
The call reflects growing coordination between New Delhi and Washington on key international issues, with India closely monitoring developments in West Asia given its strategic and economic stakes in the region, including energy imports and the safety of its diaspora.
India imports nearly 60 per cent of its LPG requirements, a majority of which has traditionally come from Gulf nations such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait.
More critically, 80–85 per cent of these LPG imports transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic chokepoint which has been completely blockaded by both Iran and the US.
The exchange between the Indian and American leadership comes at a time when diplomatic efforts are underway to defuse tensions, even as the situation around Hormuz remains volatile and fraught with uncertainty.
