PM Modi NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi said on Saturday that the interim trade agreement with the US is yet more evidence of the international community’s growing trust in India and said the series of recent trade deals marks country’s transformation from just a huge market to a hub of investment and trade. While addressing a community event of persons of Indian origin in Kuala Lumpur, he said, “Whether it is the UK, UAE, Australia, New Zealand, Oman, EU or US, countries have trade deals with India. Trust has become India’s strongest currency” – drawing an enthusiastic response from an estimated 10,000-strong audience. He said India was earlier seen as just a huge market but is now considered a hub of investment and trade. India is seen as a trusted partner for growth, he added. The PM said the framework for a trade agreement reflected the growing depth, trust and dynamism of partnership between India and theUS. “I thank President Trump for his personal commitment to robust ties between our nations,” the PM said. This strengthens ‘Make in India’ by opening new opportunities for India’s hardworking farmers, entrepreneurs, MSMEs, startup innovators, fishermen and more and will generate large-scale employment for women and youngsters, he added. “India and the US share a commitment to promoting innovation and this framework will further deepen investment and technology partnerships between us,” he said, adding that this framework will also strengthen resilient and trusted supply chains and contribute to global growth. “As India moves forward towards building a ‘Viksit Bharat’, we remain committed to building global partnerships that are future-oriented, empower our people and contribute to shared prosperity,” Modi said. The PM has been in an upbeat mood over the recent trade deals, especially the big-ticket ones with the EU and the US, celebrating them in the closed-door meeting with the governing alliance MPs as well in his speech in Parliament as a global endorsement of India’s rising economic heft. The deal with the US will be in all likelihood raised by the opposition when Parliament meets on Monday as Congress and other parties have accused govt of compromising Indian interests.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Reiterates Energy Security Priority, Signals Russia Oil Imports Will ContinueGhaziabad Sisters’ Deaths: Father’s Three Marriages Add Twist To Probe“Deal Favours US farmers” Opposition Attacks India-US Trade FrameworkFrom Tamil Pride To Global Trust: How PM Modi Used Culture To Reset India-Malaysia RelationsPM Modi In Kuala Lumpur Says India Malaysia Ties Are Rising, Unveils IMPACT Vision For Asia”To Benefit Farmers….” Shivraj Singh Chouhan Big Claim On India-US Trade DealPiyush Goyal Says Agriculture Is Self Reliant Sector As India Refuses Farm Import Benefits To USFrom Design To Silicon, India Signals Semiconductor Breakout With Semicon 2.0 RoadmapMP Minister Vijay Shah Finally Apologises For Comment Targeting Op Sindoor Face Col Sofia QureshiTurkey Sides With Pakistan On Kashmir At UN After Sharif’s Rhetoric On India’s ‘Integral’ Territory123PhotostoriesExclusive – Yuvika Choudhary on The 50: I took a break after my daughter’s birth to be there for her; now it’s time for me to return as a working momHow Taylor Swift turned fashion into her signature storytelling powerMukaish to Rabari: Underrated embroidery techniques in India that deserve more attention7 most colourful birds of Indian forestsThe 50: Major Fights That Grabbed Attention5 luxury sports cars that combine comfort with extreme powerThomas Edison once said, “I’ve not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”: 4 lessons it teaches students6 celebrities who called out social media as ‘toxic’: Tom Holland, Selena Gomez, Kate Winslet, and moreThe ultimate footwear checklist every girl needs in her closet5 mistakes to avoid when investing in under-construction projects123Hot PicksBudget 2026Gold Silver PricesParliament Budget SessionGCC Unified Visa 2026Income Tax CalculatorPublic holidays February 2026Bank Holidays februaryTop TrendingIndia vs USA LiveCooper Kupp WifeKayla NicoleSuper Bowl LX TicketOliver RowlandJustin GaethjeLIV GolfLiam Paro vs Paddy Donovan Net WorthWinter Olympics 2026NBA Trade Update
