Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 2 discussed the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic among other issues with Unites States President Donald Trump.

"Had a warm and productive conversation with my friend President @realDonaldTrump. We discussed his plans for the US Presidency of G-7, the COVID-19 pandemic, and many other issues," Modi tweeted.

The richness and depth of India-US consultations will remain an important pillar of the post-COVID global architecture, the Prime Minister said.

The G7 brings together the US, Japan, France, Germany, the UK, Canada and Italy.

Trump had earlier suggested the expansion of the Group of Seven, saying G7 is a 'very outdated group' and that India, Australia, South Korea and Russia be included.
