Since Sunday, the Indian leader has been heading a government in coalition with other political forces of the nation, after a close election in which his party did not reach the majority needed to form the executive alone.
According to press reports, the swearing-in ceremony took place at the presidential residence and was attended by political leaders from India’s allied nations such as Sri Lanka, Maldives, Seychelles, and Bangladesh.
Cuba and India have maintained bilateral relations for 65 years, which have been described by diplomatic sources of both nations as traditionally warm, friendly, and mutually respectful.
