Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan congratulated Prime Minister of the Republic of India Narendra Modi on the occasion of Independence Day.
In particular, it is said in the message:
"I send you warm congratulations on the Independence Day of the Republic of India.
The struggle of the Indian people for centuries for independence proves the supreme value of having a sovereign and democratic state. This deal underlies our two peoples' traditional friendly ties and mutual respect.
During our last meeting, we committed to best realize the existing potential between Armenia and India in various fields, and now we can proudly state that the centuries-old Armenian-Indian friendship has entered a qualitatively new phase, which is evidenced by the activation of the bilateral agenda and dialogue between our countries.
We value the increasing role of India as a bearer of democratic values in global politics and support India's efforts in advancing the international institutional reform agenda.
Thanks to joint efforts, the cooperation of our countries in bilateral and multilateral formats will be further strengthened, which will be significantly facilitated by high-level mutual visits between the parties. Once again, I reaffirm my invitation to visit Armenia at a convenient time for you.
Your Excellency, taking advantage of this opportunity, I wish you good health and new successes, and to the friendly people of India, all the best and well-being."
