Blessed mother of India,
Blessed mother of India,
Blessed mother of India,
Hello Trump, Hello Trump, I would say India-US friendship you will speak long live- long live. India-US friendship, India-US friendship, India-US friendship.
Hi there
Today a new history is being made at the Motorra Stadium. Today we are watching history repeating itself. Five months ago I started my US trip with the Howdy Modi program in Houston and today my friend President Donald Trump is starting his historic India trip with Nasset Trump in Ahmedabad. As you can imagine, they came here directly from the US. After landing in India after such a long journey, President Trump and his family went straight to the Sabarmati Ashram and then came to this program. You are warmly welcomed into this world’s largest democracy. This earth is from Gujarat but the enthusiasm for welcoming you is from all over India. This enthusiasm, this echoing sound up to the sky, the whole atmosphere from the airport to the stadium here, the colors of India’s diversity are dyed. And the presence of President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Ivanka and Jared in the midst of all of this, President Trump’s coming here with his family is recognizing the Indo-US relationship as a family-like sweetness and intimacy. India-USA Relations are no longer just another partnership, it is a far, greater and closer relationship. The name of this program – ‘hello’, means very deep. This is a Sanskrit word in one of the oldest languages in the world. It means that we worship not only the individual but also the divinity within it. For this grand event I congratulate the people of Gujarat, the people of other states living in Gujarat. Mr. President, friends Today you are on the land where the 5,000 year old planned city is Dholavira and so is the old Lothal sea port. Today you are on the banks of the Sabarmati River, which has been an important place in India’s independence. Today you are in a country full of diversity where hundreds of languages are spoken. There are hundreds of different costumes, hundreds of different types of catering, many are sects and communities. Our Rich Diversity, Unity and Unity Vibrancy in Diversity is the very basis of the strong relationship between India and America. One is Land of the Free, the other is considered a family all over the world. One is proud of the statue of liberty, the other is proud of Sardar Patel’s Statue of Unity, the tallest statue in the world. There is so much that we share, Shared Values and Ideas, Shared Spirit of Enterprise and Innovation, Shared Opportunities and Challenges, Shared Hopes and Aspirations. I am happy that the friendship between India and America has deepened under President Trump’s leadership and hence, President Trump’s visit is the new chapter of India-US relations. A chapter that will become a new document of progress and prosperity for the people of America and India.
Friends,
President Trump thinks big and the world is well aware of what he has done to make the American Dream come true. Today we extend our special congratulations to the entire Trump family, it is a great honor for us to be here first lady Melania Trump. What you have done for Healthy and Happy America is yielding good results. What you are doing for children in the society is admirable. You say – Be Best! You may have noticed that today’s reception is the same feeling of people. Ivanka came to India two years ago, then you said that I would like to come back to India. I’m glad you’re in our midst again today, welcome. Jared is your specialty that you stay away from limelight, but the work you do has a lot of impact, with far-reaching consequences. Whenever you get a chance to meet you, you also talk a lot about your Indian friends. With you, I am so happy to see you here today.
Peers, today from this forum every Indian and America as well as the whole world wants to hear President Trump. After his address, I will thank you and tell you more.
I invite President Trump on behalf of 130 million Indians. Friends, I am present to you my friend, India’s friend The President of the United States of America- Mr. Donald Trump.
