Colombo/Kathmandu, June 4 (PTI): Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe and Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ on Tuesday congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the victory of the BJP-led NDA alliance in the general elections and expressed their desire to work closely with him.

“I heartily congratulate the BJP-led NDA on its victory, which reflects the faith of the Indian people in progress and prosperity under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” the Sri Lankan President wrote on Twitter.

He said that being the closest neighbour, Sri Lanka looks forward to further strengthening partnership with India.

Nepal Prime Minister Prachanda congratulated his Indian counterpart on the electoral success of his party-led alliance.

“Congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the electoral success of the BJP and the NDA for the third consecutive time in the Lok Sabha elections. We are delighted at the successful completion of the world’s largest democratic process with the enthusiastic participation of the people of India,” he said in a post on Twitter.

Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth congratulated Modi on his historic victory.

“Congratulations to PM Modi ji @narendramodi on your commendable victory for a historic third term. Under your leadership, the largest democracy will continue to make remarkable progress. Long live the special Mauritius-India relationship,” Jugnauth wrote on Twitter.

Maldives President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu also congratulated Modi and expressed his desire to work closely with the Indian Prime Minister to further advance bilateral relations.

“Congratulations to Prime Minister @narendramodi and the BJP and the BJP-led NDA on their third consecutive success in the 2024 Indian General Election.

“I look forward to working together to advance our shared interests for the common prosperity and stability of our two countries,” Muizzu said. Since the pro-China leader took office in November last year, his statements and actions have strained bilateral ties.
