"Had a warm and productive conversation with my friend President @realDonaldTrump. We discussed his plans for the US Presidency of G-7, the COVID-19 pandemic, and many other issues," Modi tweeted.

"The richness and depth of India-US consultations will remain an important pillar of the post-COVID global architecture," the prime minister said.

Calling the existing Group of Seven (G-7) club a “very outdated group of countries”, US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he wanted to include India, Russia, South Korea, and Australia in the group; although it was unclear whether he wanted the expansion to be permanent.
