Notably, posting on social media, the Indian PM also says he is looking forward to working closely with Trump to strengthen relations in areas included technology, defence, energy and space.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Donald Trump on the phone a little earlier.
In a "warm and cordial" conversation, Netanyahu congratulated Trump on his election victory, and the two agreed to work together for Israel's security, and also discussed the "Iranian threat", the statement adds.
Netanyahu earlier called Trump's victory "history’s greatest comeback" in a message signed "Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu".
Former Republican President George W Bush has congratulated Trump and Vance on their win.
In a post on X, Bush writes: "The strong turnout in this election is a sign of the health of our republic and the strength of our democratic institutions. "We join our fellow citizens in praying for the success of our new leaders at all levels of government." He also thanks Biden and Harris for "their service to our country".
Bush never publicly backed a candidate during this election, but his daughter Barbara endorsed Kamala Harris in October - as did Dick Cheney, who served as his vice-president.
The shocking US election result will create a new world order – and launch a fresh wave of Trump wannabes, writes Martin Kettle in

Trump 2.0 seems certain to put one of the final nails in the coffin of the post-1945 Pax Americana.
In reality, that old normality has been disintegrating since at least the Vietnam conflict. George W Bush’s “war on terror” caused more problems than it solved. Barack Obama and Joe Biden were each reluctant to wield America’s big stick, most recently and tragically in the Middle East. Now, though, there is no hiding from the realities.
Under Trump, the global agenda will alter, whether we like it or not.
"Liberal democracies everywhere, Britain included, will also come under fresh siege from their own Trump imitators, powered by truth-spurning social media," he notes.

"Other democracies, including Britain, need to understand what is at stake. The challenges facing the international order are only the start of it. Challenges on the home front are just as real.
"Democracies need to respond, far more soberly and determinedly than many have yet done, to the digital-era power of Trump’s nationalist, protectionist and resentment-fuelled messages.
"If we want to avoid being overwhelmed by similar forces, leaving us even more vulnerable to hostile autocracies such as Russia, we need to be proactive, not passive, about them."
