Washington, PTI: US President Donald Trump greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his 70th birthday, praising him as a "great leader and loyal friend". Prime Minister Modi, born on September 17 in 1950, turned 70 on Thursday.
"I would like to extend best wishes and a very happy 70th birthday to the Prime Minister of India, @narendramodi. Many happy returns to a GREAT LEADER and loyal friend!" Trump tweeted Thursday afternoon local time.
He also posted a photograph of him and First lady Melania Trump with Prime Minister Modi at the 'Namaste Trump' event. The two leaders had their hands raised and clenched before a 125,000-strong crowd who had gathered to welcome the US president on his first India visit at Motera cricket stadium in Ahmedabad in February this year.
At the event, Prime Minister Modi had said that a "new history" was being created.
Modi and Trump enjoy a "special relationship" and have been working on a number regional and global issues. They frequently talk over the phone and the countries have had an unprecedented level of co-operation even during the coronavirus pandemic.
India supplied hydroxychloroquine to the US in the early stages of the pandemic and Trump ordered ventilators to India. The two countries are also collaborating on development of vaccine and therapeutics.
On Thursday, Lisa Curtis, the deputy assistant to the US president, told a top American think-tank the Trump administration has elevated the relationship with India and solidified the growing partnership "in ways not seen in any other US administration".
&ldquo;The joint statement signed by President Trump and PM Modi following Trumps&rsquo; visit to India in February is testament to this administration's commitment to building this vital partnership," Curtis said.
"Whether we are talking about increasing collaboration to develop therapeutics and vaccines to combat Covid-19; increasing defence cooperation, such as India's recent decision to purchase US multi-role and attack helicopters worth USD 3 billion; or enhancing collaboration on cyber security, the US-India relationship has never been better,&rdquo; she said.
Trump was among a host of world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who wished Modi on his birthday and lauded him for strengthening ties with their countries.

Border restrictions between the Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria were&nbsp;eased on Thursday to allow residents to move freely within the region due to a drop in the number of fresh Covid-19 cases. The new measures followed an easing of restrictions in Victoria announced by Premier Daniel Andrews on Tuesday. Under the eased restrictions, Victoria residents can leave their homes for any reason, and can have a "household bubble" of five visitors. Pubs and restaurants can also serve outdoors. Previously, residents of regional Victoria in the border area could only enter NSW for a permitted purpose.

A Greek police operation is underway on the island of Lesbos to move thousands of migrants and refugees, left homeless after a fire destroyed their overcrowded camp, into a new facility on the island.
Police said Thursday morning&rsquo;s operation included 70 female police officers who were approaching asylum-seekers with the aim of persuading them to move to the new camp in the island&rsquo;s Kara Tepe area.
No violence was reported as the operation began.
The notoriously squalid Moria camp burned down last week in fires that Greek authorities said were deliberately set by a small group of the camp&rsquo;s inhabitants angered by lockdown restrictions imposed after a coronavirus outbreak.
The blazes have left more than 1,200 people in need of emergency shelter.
The vast majority have been sleeping rough by the side of a road leading from Moria to the island capital of Mytilene, using makeshift shelters made of sheets, blankets, reeds and cardboard.
Six Afghans, including two minors, were arrested on suspicion of causing last week&rsquo;s fires at Moria.

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny on Thursday revealed that the nerve agent used to poison him was detected on an empty water bottle from his hotel room in the Siberian city of Tomsk. A video posted on Navalny's Instagram account showed members of his team searching the Xander Hotel room that he had vacated on August 20, an hour after he fell sick.
The latest revelations suggest Navalny was poisoned at the hotel and not at the airport as previously thought. Navalny fell critically ill last month on his way to Moscow and had to be flown out to Germany for treatment. Germany says he was poisoned by a Novichok nerve agent, while Russia has denied all allegations in the case
