Prime Minister Narendra Modi received warm birthday wishes from global leaders on his 75th birthday, and he responded with heartfelt thanks. The celebrations highlighted strong international ties, especially between India and the UK, as Modi shared grateful posts on X (formerly Twitter).
Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak led the tributes with a touching video message. “It’s a great pleasure to wish Prime Minister Modi a happy 75th birthday,” Sunak said. He praised Modi as a reliable friend to him and Britain during uncertain times. Sunak also celebrated the growing UK-India relationship, mentioning the exciting recent England-India Test cricket series as a fun reminder of their shared bonds.
Coming from a British-Indian family, Sunak added a personal touch: “This relationship will always have a special place in my heart.” He fondly recalled his 2023 visit to India for the G20 Summit with his wife Akshata, calling it a “superb event” that showcased India’s global stature. Wrapping up, Sunak wished Modi the best and said he looks forward to meeting soon.
Modi quickly replied on X: “Thank you Rishi for your warm greetings.” This exchange underscores the enduring India-UK friendship, built on history, culture, and cricket.
Modi also extended thanks to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape for his kind words. In another X post, Modi wrote: “Grateful for your kind wishes Prime Minister James Marape. Greatly cherish the strong and historic India-Papua New Guinea ties and people-to-people connect.” These messages reflect Modi’s appreciation for deep-rooted bilateral relations with Pacific nations.
The birthday greetings didn’t stop there. King Charles from the UK sent a special gift—a Kadamb tree—to Modi, inspired by the Prime Minister’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative for environmental conservation. The British High Commission shared on X: “His Majesty The King has been graciously pleased to send a Kadamb tree to India Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday.” This thoughtful gesture highlights shared commitments to green efforts and India-UK environmental ties.
World leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also sent their best wishes. Overwhelmed by the flood of messages from India and abroad, Modi later said he felt truly touched by the global support. These interactions show how Modi’s leadership continues to strengthen India’s position on the world stage.
