"Barack and I have forged a friendship. There is openness when we talk on the phone and we also crack jokes," Modi said.
"This chemistry has brought Barack closer to me but also brought the people of India and America closer" he added.
"I'm fairly new in this area but relations between countries depends less on full stops, commas, and more on the personal chemistry between the leaders. I think this chemistry is very important and will only grow," he said further.
Obama too agreed with Modi and said their friendship reflected the "warmth" between the two countries.
"In addition to the personal friendship that we have built in a brief amount of time we are reflecting the warmth between the people of India and US," Obama said.
