More than 50,000 Indian-Americans attended the "Howdy, Modi!" event, the first of its scale, in Houston on Sunday. The event was organised at the one of the largest stadiums in US - the NRG Stadium.

Hours after the two world leaders shared stage at the event, PM Modi thanked Mr Trump in a tweet and said the US President has been a "steadfast friend of India".

"Dear @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, your presence at #HowdyModi in Houston was a watershed moment in India-USA ties. Since assuming office, you have been a steadfast friend of India and the Indian community. Your presence indicates your respect towards India and the Indian diaspora," PM Modi tweeted this morning.

In another tweet, he wrote: "Moments from Houston that will always remain a part of my memory. I thank all those who came for the #HowdyModi programme. The event was lively, showcasing the special features of Indian culture and accomplishments of the Indian diaspora."
