Congratulations to President of India Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on Republic Day

January 26, 2025

Vladimir Putin sent heartfelt congratulations to President of India Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on the occasion of Republic Day, which is a national holiday in India.

The message reads, in part:

“The Constitution that came into force 75 years ago laid the foundation for building effective state institutions and a free democratic development of India. Since then, your country has achieved universally recognised successes in socioeconomic, scientific, technical and other fields and has gained well-deserved authority in the international arena.

Russian-Indian relations are based on special and privileged strategic partnership. I am confident that we will use joint efforts to continue to consistently build up productive bilateral cooperation across all areas, as well as constructive interaction in international affairs. Without a doubt, this meets the fundamental interests of our friendly peoples and is in line with the efforts to form a fair multipolar international order.”
