Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday addressed U.S. Congress, in a speech in which he celebrated his country’s ties with America, especially in defense.
“In every sector of India’s forward march, I see the U.S. as an indispensable partner,” Mr. Modi told the audience.
Indian newspapers carried pictures of Mr. Modi in Congress on their front pages on Thursday.
The Times of India wrote in an editorial that “PM Modi hit all the right buttons,” with the speech.
C Raja Mohan, writing in The Indian Express, said; “The partnership between the two countries has never had the kind of depth and breadth that it has today.”
Indian Express journalist Shubhajit Roy counted the number of times Mr. Modi received applause, starting with his comments on terrorism. “This was one of the 64 times the House clapped during Mr. Modi’s 45-minute address.” He pointed out that Mr. Modi used the word “partnership” 13 times.
The Hindustan Times focused on indications that Mr. Modi seemed to gain traction on his mission to get India admitted as a full member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group: “The greatest satisfaction in all this will be being able to close the door on nearly a half-century of status as a nuclear pariah,” it said in an editorial.
The Economic Times carried a montage of pictures with the headline: “When Modi met Obama,” saying the two leaders “have taken ties to new heights.” It said in his speech, Mr. Modi delivered a “tough message on terrorism.”
In another article entitled: “How PM Narendra Modi managed to win over the US,” the paper said, “Modi side-stepped stereotypes and connected with Obama on issues like climate change and China and leveraged his big parliamentary majority.”
