"Please accept my heartiest congratulations on your electoral victory. The successful conduct of free, fair and peaceful elections is a reflection of the desire of the people of Bangladesh for democracy, development and progress. I am confident that under your leadership, Bangladesh will attain even greater heights.
India and Bangladesh share historically close and friendly relations. I wish to assure you of India's commitment to the further strengthening and deepening of our relations with Bangladesh. I look forward to working with you towards this end for the mutual benefit of our two peoples. I also take this opportunity to invite Your Excellency to visit India at your earliest possible convenience. I am asking my senior colleague, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, to visit Bangladesh as soon as possible to personally convey our good wishes.
Please accept, Excellency, my best wishes for your good health and personal well being and for the continued progress and prosperity of the friendly people of Bangladesh."
Manmohan Singh
