Text of Letter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman

Excellency,

Eid Mubarak!

On behalf of the people and the Government of India, I extend warm greetings to you and the brotherly people of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh on the joyous occasion of the festival of Eid Al Fitr.

Over the past one month, Muslims in India as well as across the world have observed the holy month of Ramadan and spent pious time in fasting and prayer.

The celebration of Eid Al Fitr reminds us of the timeless values of compassion, brotherhood and togetherness. We hope and pray for peace, harmony, good health and happiness for people across the world.

May the bonds of friendship and camaraderie among our countries grow stronger.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
