Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with US Vice President JD Vance on Saturday, discussing ways to deepen the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. Modi said on X that the call covered cooperation in trade, defence, critical technologies, energy security, and critical minerals. The leaders also exchanged views on regional and global developments. Modi warmly congratulated Vance and his wife Usha on the birth of their son. The call comes after US Congressman Riley Moore raised concerns over proposed amendments to India's Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), calling it an attack on Christians. The conversation also follows a mutual defence pact between Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. It is not clear if the proposed India-US trade deal figured in the talks.
