New Delhi: As India celebrates its Independence Day on Thursday, several nations, including war-torn Ukraine, which has been struggling to protect its territories from Russia, sent warm wishes to New Delhi on its special occasion. In a social media post, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry congratulated Indians on Independence Day and said they will work together for the development of both nations.
“Our best wishes to the people of the Republic of #India and our colleagues from @MEAIndia on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of Independence. We hope that relations will continue to develop for the mutual benefit of our nations,” the Ukrainian Foreign Minister wrote.
The special message for India came on the sidelines of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the war-torn nation scheduled for the third week of this month. However, the Ministry of External Affairs has not commented on many of the details related to his visit.
Apart from Ukraine, neighbouring Maldives has also expressed a similar view about India. Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu, who was earlier seen as critical of New Delhi and a pro-China leader, took to social media and stressed that relations between the two nations are rooted in history, which over time has evolved to foster prosperity in the region.
“On the occasion of India’s Independence Day, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to President @rashtrapatibhvn, Prime Minister @narendramodi and the people of India. Our long-standing friendship, rooted in history, has evolved to foster prosperity and development in the Maldives and the region. Looking ahead, I am confident that our partnership will continue to grow stronger, driving mutual prosperity and shared goals,” Muizzu said.
Meanwhile, in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation from the Red Fort, a 17th-century Mughal-era building. He said India aspires to be a developed nation by 2047, when it completes 100 years of independence from British colonialists.
