Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated "friend" Donald Trump on his "historic" presidential election victory on Wednesday, saying he hopes to renew their work to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership, PTI reported.

Former US President Donald Trump was on his way to winning the White House in one of the most historic political comebacks in American history. According to projections, Trump was all set to receive 270 electoral college votes stopping Democratic candidate Kamala Harris's chance to be the next US President, cited by PTI.
