President of Cuba congratulates Indian Prime Minister for re-election

Havana, June 10 (RHC) Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel today congratulated the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, for his re-election for a third consecutive term.

In a message on his X account, the Cuban head of state wished Modi success in his new term and conveyed his desire to continue strengthening the ties of friendship and mutual cooperation.

Since this Sunday, the Hindu nationalist leader has headed a government in coalition with other political forces in the nation, after close elections in which his party did not reach the majority necessary to form the executive alone.

According to media reports, his swearing-in ceremony took place at the presidential residence and was attended by political leaders from India's allied nations such as Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Seychelles, and Bangladesh.

Cuba and India have maintained bilateral relations for 65 years, which have been described by diplomatic sources from both nations as traditionally warm, friendly and of mutual respect. (Source: PL)
