Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday congratulated Donald Trump on his second term as the US President.

"Congratulations my dear friend President @realDonaldTrump on your historic inauguration as the 47th President of the United States! I look forward to working closely together once again, to benefit both our countries, and to shape a better future for the world. Best wishes for a successful term ahead," posted PM Modi on X.

Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States as during the 60th Presidential Inauguration at the US Capitol in Washington, DC.

He was administered oath of office by US Chief Justice John Roberts. External affairs minister S Jaishankar is representing PM Modi as his special envoy at Trump's inaugural function.

He is carrying a letter from Prime Minister Modi for the new US president. "Privileged to represent India as External Affairs Minister and Special Envoy of PM at the Swearing-In Ceremony of the 47th President of the United States of America today in Washington DC," Jaishankar said in a post on X.

India will be closely watching Trump’s return to the White House, with significant implications for the bilateral relationship between the two nations. Trump is expected to continue his strong stance on trade, which could impact US-India economic ties.
