President of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress Dr. Michael Mirilashvili congratulated Mr. Ram Nath Kovind, the President of India and Mr. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India on Independence Day.

A greeting letter to the President reads the following:

“On behalf of all the leaders of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress please accept my heartfelt congratulations for the Independence Day of India and the best wishes for the thriving and wellbeing of your people.

In many ways India is a very special place, particularly when it comes to its history from ancient times till today. Various Jewish communities in India also have quite an ancient and exciting story. We deeply value the attentive attitude to the Jewish Communities and thankful for keeping very close ties with the State of Israel and becoming one of its major allies in the world.

We know that India has been through the tough times in terms of fighting the pandemic and we wish you to overcome this crisis as soon as possible.

May I again congratulate you on the Independence Day and wish you and the people of India a happy celebration. Please accept my cordial regards and the assurances of my highest consideration”.
