US President Donald Trump thanked the Telangana government after a road in Hyderabad was named in his honour, saying he was the first US President to receive such a recognition in India.
Taking to Truth Social on Friday, Trump shared a photograph of Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor unveiling the ceremonial plaque earlier this week.
"The new Donald Trump Avenue in Hyderabad, India -- The first US President to ever be honoured in this way. Thank you," Trump wrote.
The Telangana government has named the road adjoining the US Consulate in Hyderabad as Donald Trump Avenue. The stretch is also located near the offices of several major American technology companies, including Microsoft, Google and Amazon.
The state government said the naming of the road was a tribute to the United States and a recognition of Hyderabad's growing role in strengthening India-US relations.
