INDIA
Here are the top quotes from Modi-Trump's presser.
Describing Narendra Modi as a "great Prime Minister", President Donald Trump today discussed with him ways to push the bilateral strategic ties amid US' strong message to Pakistan by declaring Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin as a global terrorist.
Modi, meeting Trump for the first time, was accorded a warm welcome with the US President and the first lady Melania coming out of the White House to receive him.
At the White House portico, they exchanged pleasantries and had a brief interaction before going inside for the summit meeting.
As the two leaders sat for the meetings Trump, who had recently described Modi as a "true friend", said it was "a great honour" for him to receive the prime minister.
"He is such a great Prime Minister. I have been speaking with him and reading about him. He is doing a great job.
Economically, India is doing very well and in so many other ways. I would like to congratulate him for this," he said in brief comments.
Modi expressed gratitude to Trump and the first lady for the warm welcome extended to him, which included a 'working dinner', the first of its kind under the current US administration.
The following are the top quotes from the joint statement:
