Congratulations on your Republic Day Kazakhstan ! 🇰🇿 35 years ago, you gained your independence. And you brought your uniquely rich culture to the world.

We congratulate our Turkish friends on Republic Day 🇺🇦🇹🇷 We look forward to strengthening our partnership. Ukraine appreciates our strong ties with Türkiye, its principled support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and our shared commitment to lasting peace. @MFATurkiye

It was wonderful meeting European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Evian earlier today. At the start of this year, India was proud to host them for our Republic Day celebrations. This has been a great time for India-EU ties as we have concluded the Free Trade Agreement. During our talks, we discussed how to further deepen economic linkages in the times to come. Our growing cooperation can play an important role in strengthening peace, stability and prosperity in today’s global environment. @vonderleyen @EU_Commission @eucopresident @EUCouncil
