Washington: US President Donald Trump has publicly thanked India after a road in Hyderabad was named in his honour, calling it a unique recognition and saying he was the first American President to receive such a tribute in the country.
Sharing the development on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump expressed his appreciation and posted a photograph of the inauguration ceremony, where Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor unveiled the ceremonial plaque for Donald Trump Avenue.
The newly designated road is located near the US Consulate in Hyderabad and is surrounded by the offices of several leading American technology companies, including Microsoft, Google and Amazon. The location has emerged as one of the city’s key international business corridors.
Reacting to the honour, Trump described the gesture as a historic milestone and thanked the people of India for the recognition. He said the naming of the avenue reflected the strong ties shared between the two countries.
The Telangana government said the decision was intended to acknowledge the growing strategic and economic partnership between India and the United States. Officials also noted that Hyderabad has become a major hub for American investment, innovation and technology, making the location symbolically significant.
The road naming has drawn attention both in India and abroad, with many viewing it as a reflection of Hyderabad’s expanding global profile and its close association with American businesses operating in the region.
The development comes at a time when India-US cooperation continues to deepen across sectors such as trade, technology, defence and investment, with both nations highlighting their commitment to strengthening bilateral engagement.
