Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia sent a congratulatory message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, on the latter’s Republic Day. The message reads as follows, in particular: "Republic Day is a significant occasion for the nations and states that have fought for independence to reaffirm the commitment of the people and the state to the principles of justice, sovereignty, equality and fraternity established by the Constitution. The Constitution of the Republic of India not only embodies the historical and political culture of India, but is also the best example of harmoniously combining the provisions of the nation's political and philosophical thought in the supreme law. It is no coincidence that the ideas of the Constitution and constitutionalism played a major role in the core of the centuries-old Armenian-Indian friendship, taking into account the drafting of the first Constitution of the Armenian people in India. Today we can already proudly record that our friendly ties formed throughout centuries and the common past of our peoples are entering the practical stage of new achievements in bilateral and multilateral relations."
