Prez-Pranab

Esteemed Mr Mukherjee,

Kindly accept sincere congratulations on your election as the President of the Republic of India.

The friendly Indian state is now headed by a prominent political leader who significantly and personally contributed to the development of mutually beneficial and fruitful Russian-Indian ties, particularly as the Chairman of the Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation.

Our countries are linked by the centuries-long friendship and mutual affection among our people. These relations represent an important factor in forming a just multipolar world order. I am convinced that they will consistently develop further.

From the bottom of my heart I wish you, Mr Mukherjee, sound health, prosperity and all success at the highest state post, for the benefit of India and stronger Russian-Indian cooperation.

Yours respectfully,

 

 

V. Putin,

President of the Russian Federation

Mr Pranab Mukherjee,

President of the Republic of India,
