Modi welcomes Trump at Motera Stadium

The US President is currently on a two day visit to India with the first lady Melania, his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Trump landed in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad Airport at 11.30 am today and visited the Sabarmati Ashram. Following that he attended the ‘Namaste Trump’ event at the Motera Stadium. The stadium was packed with more than 1 lakh people who waited eagerly to listen to the President of the United States. President Trump seemed to be delighted by the warm welcome and he said, “Namaste, and hello to India. Let me begin my profound gratitude to leader and my true friend, Prime Minister Modi. The First lady and I have just travelled 8,000 miles to deliver this message: That America respects India, America loves India”. He added, “Five months ago, US welcomed your PM at a giant football stadium, and you welcomed us at the world’s largest cricket stadium. Thank you for spectacular welcome. We will always remember this remarkable hospitality forever”. Trump boldly mentioned about the history of India-US relationship and listed the achievements of both the governments while they worked together. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “There is so much that we share: Shared values and ideals, shared spirit of enterprise and innovation, shared opportunities and challenges, shared hopes and aspirations. History is in the making at Motera Stadium. Five months ago, I began my US journey with ‘Howdy Modi’ event at Houston. And today, my friend President Donald Trump is beginning his journey with ‘Namaste Trump’. I welcome you to world’s biggest democracy”.
