US President Donald Trump praised PM Modi on India achieving 'astounding growth' at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Vietnam today.

"Since India opened its economy, it has achieved astounding growth and a new world of opportunities for its expanding middle class," Trump said.

Speaking at the gathering of CEOs, the US President said: "Prime Minister Modi has been working to bring that vast country and all of its people as one. And he has been working at it very successfully indeed."

Prime Minister Modi will be leaving for the Philippines on Sunday to attend the India-ASEAN and East Asia summits.
