KUWAIT: Indian Embassy, Kuwait marked 75th Republic Day of India on Friday at the embassy premises. Indian Ambassador Dr Adarsh Swaika unfurled the national flag and read out Indian President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the nation. A large number of Indian nations attended the ceremony.

"I would like to reiterate India’s commitment to further strengthen and expand the long-standing and time-tested partnership with the State of Kuwait,” he said.
"This year marks the 75th year of coming into force of India’s constitution. The Indian constitution is the longest written constitution in the world and is a living document that has evolved over time to incorporate necessary changes. The constitution declares India as a sovereign, socialist, secular and democratic republic and assures its citizens justice, equality and liberty of thought and action. This constitutional guarantee is an article of faith for all Indian citizens in India and abroad,” he pointed out.

He thanked all the community associations, professional bodies, cultural groups and members of the Indian community for joining hands with the embassy for not only contributing to the welfare of the community but also undertaking activities that contribute to the strengthening of bilateral relations with Kuwait.
