'Nationalists Kind Respect Each Other': Jaishankar On Modi-Trump Chemistry

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to the US "went very well" and underlined that the chemistry between him and President Donald Trump in Washington was also good. PM Modi paid an official working visit to the US on February 12-13 during which the two leaders held discussions on a broad range of bilateral issues.

"I have been doing this all my life, so I have some reference points, and some experiences as a comparative assessment. And, I would say with all objectivity, I thought, it went very well, and for a variety of reasons," Mr Jaishankar said in response to a query on PM Modi's US visit during an interaction at an event here late evening.

The external affairs minister said people know that PM Modi is a "very strong nationalist, and he sort of radiates that".
