Chinese Premier Li Qiang extended his heartfelt congratulations to Narendra Modi on Tuesday, following Modi’s inauguration for a third term as the Prime Minister of India. The message underscores the importance of China-India relations in promoting regional stability and global prosperity.
Modi was officially sworn in on Sunday, with President Droupadi Murmu administering the oath of office in a solemn ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace in New Delhi. Modi’s re-election marks a significant moment in India’s political landscape, affirming his leadership and the direction of his administration.
In his congratulatory message, Premier Li emphasized the value of strong bilateral ties between China and India. “The sound and steady development of China-India relations is not only conducive to the well-being of the two peoples but also injects stability and positive energy into the region and the world,” Li noted.
He expressed China’s willingness to collaborate with India to advance their relationship in the right direction. This sentiment highlights the potential for increased cooperation between the two neighboring countries, both of which are key players in Asia’s economic and geopolitical spheres.
The exchange of goodwill messages between the leaders reflects a mutual interest in fostering amicable relations despite past challenges. Strengthening Sino-Indian ties could lead to enhanced trade partnerships, cultural exchanges, and collaborative efforts on global issues such as climate change and international security.
