Interesting to see the Maldives President's message after the recent diplomatic tensions. The language about "excellent ties" seems like a positive step towards de-escalation. Hope the relationship stabilizes for the sake of regional cooperation.

While the greetings are nice, I wish our media would focus equally on the domestic challenges we face on Republic Day. Celebrating global recognition is fine, but let's not forget the work needed to fully uphold the constitutional ideals we commemorate.

Kazakhstan's mention of "robust economic development" under our leadership is spot on! Our GDP growth and global partnerships are making the world take notice. Feeling proud as an Indian today. 🚀

The Cyprus President calling PM Modi his "dearest friend" and planning a visit in May shows the personal diplomacy at work. These relationships matter for trade and strategic interests. Good to see.

The Maldives FM's message was more substantial, mentioning "ancient civilizational links" and "people-to-people ties". That's the foundation we should build on, not just government-level statements. Our shared history in the Indian Ocean is deep.
