Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the national holiday - Independence Day.
The successes achieved by India in the economic, social and other fields are generally recognized. Your country rightfully enjoys high prestige in the world arena and plays an important role in addressing topical issues on the international agenda.
We value the relations of privileged strategic partnership maintained between our countries. I am confident that further building-up the entire range of constructive Russian-Indian ties is fully meeting the interests of our peoples and is in line with strengthening stability and security at the regional and global levels.
