The 70th Republic Day of India was marked in the Belgrade hotel “Metropol Palace”.
– Two countries whose diplomatic relations go far in the past and whose seventieth anniversary was celebrated last year with the exhibition of archival documents “Belgrade-New Delhi, seventy years of diplomatic relations” prepared by the Archives of Yugoslavia, and therefore I am glad that together we celebrate our national holiday right here in Belgrade covered with snow – said Indian Ambassador to Serbia S. Bhattacharjee at reception.
Bhattacharjee stressed that the two countries have good co-operation at political, economic, cultural and other levels. The Ambassador recalled the mutual visits of senior officials, the Indian investment in Serbia, the scholarships that this country grants to our students, and then on a special initiative, thanks to which printed commemorative postage stamps were honored in honor of Nikola Tesla and Swami Vivekananda, as well as last year’s celebration of the International Yoga Day was held at Avala.
