President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, extended warm and fraternal congratulations to PM Modi. Highlighting the visionary leadership that steered the transformation of Gujarat and facilitated India's rise as one of the fastest growing global economies, he shared on X;

"On behalf of the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and on my own behalf, I extend warm and fraternal congratulations to His Excellency Shri Narendra Modi @narendramodi, Prime Minister of the Republic of India, on a truly historic milestone. 

Today, 7 October 2026, marks 25 years since he first assumed office in 2001 as Head of Government and Chief Minister of Gujarat.

His public service has continued without interruption. After more than twelve years serving the people of Gujarat, he has remained Prime Minister of the Republic of India since 2014. 

A quarter-century of unbroken leadership is a rare achievement in any democracy. In the world's most populous nation, it is a powerful testament to the enduring confidence the Indian people have placed in him.

Across these 25 years, Prime Minister Modi has led with vision and an unwavering commitment to development. From the transformation of Gujarat to India's emergence as one of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies, his leadership in infrastructure, digital public goods, financial inclusion and innovation has lifted millions and inspired nations across the Global South.

Nigeria deeply values the strategic partnership between our two great nations. I fondly recall the Prime Minister's historic State Visit to Abuja in November 2024, when Nigeria honoured him with the title of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger. 

That visit gave fresh impetus to our cooperation in trade and investment, energy, defence and security, health, education, and technology.

As fellow democracies and leading voices of the Global South, Nigeria and India share a common commitment to a fairer, more inclusive and more representative international order. I remain confident that, under his continued leadership, the bonds of friendship between our peoples will grow ever stronger.

As Prime Minister Modi marks this remarkable anniversary, I wish him good health, continued strength and every success in the service of the people of India.

Highlighting his excellent political leadership that has accelerated India's development and raised its international prestige to new heights, and looking forward to working together to realize a Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP), she posted on X;

"प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी के सरकार के प्रमुख के तौर पर 25 वर्ष की अवधि पूरे होने पर मैं अपनी शुभकामनाएँ व्यक्त करना चाहती हूँ।

भारत के समाज और राष्ट्र के विकास को साकार करने के लिए वे वर्षों से प्रयास करते आए हैं और सन् 2001 से अपने उत्कृष्ट राजनीतिक नेतृत्व से सरकार के प्रमुख के पद संभालते आए हैं। उन्होंने भारत के विकास को गति देने के साथ ही अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर भी भारत की प्रतिष्ठा को नई ऊंचाइयों तक पहुंचाया। इन सारी उपलब्धियों के लिए, मैं एक साथी राजनीतिज्ञ के रूप में सम्मान भावना व्यक्त करती हूँ।

मैं फिर से प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी का आभार व्यक्त करना चाहती हूँ कि इस जुलाई में मेरी भारत यात्रा के दौरान मुझे उनका बेहद गर्मजोशी भरा स्वागत मिला।

भारत की खाद्य संस्कृति और संगीत का अनुभव करते हुए, मुझे जापान-भारत की "विशेष रणनीतिक और वैश्विक साझेदारी" को अगले स्तर तक ले जाने के लिए उनके साथ ठोस कदमों पर विचार-विमर्श करने का शुभ अवसर प्राप्त हुआ। मेरी भारत यात्रा बहुत ही फलदायी रही।

अगले वर्ष जापान-भारत राजनयिक संबंधों की स्थापना की 75वीं वर्षगाँठ है।

मुक्त एवं खुले हिन्द-प्रशांत क्षेत्र (FOIP) को साकार करने हेतु मैं प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी के साथ मिलकर काम करना चाहती हूँ ताकि रणनीतिक दिशा को साझा करने वाले जापान तथा भारत मिलकर हमारी साझेदारी को और आगे बढ़ाया जा सके।"

Noting that this rare achievement speaks of enduring trust and deep personal commitment to public service, and highlighting the steadfast partnership between the two nations as they celebrate fifty years of diplomatic relations, he conveyed in an official message;
" Congratulatory Message from President Dr Patrick Herminie to Prime Minister Modi
08 October 2026 | .
Excellency, my dear friend,
On behalf of the Government and the people of the Republic of Seychelles, and in my own name, I extend to you my warmest congratulations as you complete twenty-five years of uninterrupted service as head of government of the Republic of India.

A quarter of a century of public office is a rare achievement in any democracy. It speaks of the enduring trust the people of India have placed in you, first in Gujarat and, since 2014, across the nation. It also speaks of a deep personal commitment to public service, sustained through times of hardship and times of great progress alike.

This milestone carries a special meaning for us in Seychelles, because it falls in the year our two nations celebrate fifty years of diplomatic relations. I recall with great warmth my State Visit to India in February, and the generous welcome extended to my delegation. I recall with equal fondness your presence among us in June as Guest of Honour at our Golden Jubilee National Day celebrations. The people of Seychelles were honoured to receive you, and they have not forgotten.

Throughout your tenure, India has stood by Seychelles as a steadfast friend and partner: in health, in capacity building, in maritime security, and in the many ties that bind our peoples across the Indian Ocean. Your vision for our shared ocean has given that partnership new purpose.

As you begin this next chapter, I wish you continued good health, wisdom and strength in the service of the people of India. I look forward to building, together with you, the next fifty years of partnership between our two nations."

Your exemplary political journey bears testimony to your unwavering commitment to the people of India, your determination to advance national development and progress, and your steadfast pursuit of the welfare of your fellow citizens.

It has been a personal privilege for me to witness your remarkable journey from the high office of Chief Minister of Gujarat to that of Prime Minister of the Republic of India. Your achievements reflect the enduring trust and confidence that the people of India have placed in your leadership.

Under your stewardship, India has embarked on transformative initiatives and has considerably strengthened its standing on the international stage, emerging as an influential voice in global affairs and a leading advocate for the interests of the Global South.
The relationship between Mauritius and India is rooted in enduring friendship, shared democratic values, deep cultural affinities and strong people-to-people ties.
 
Under your personal leadership, our bilateral relations have acquired renewed momentum and greater strategic depth, culminating in our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which reflects the mutual trust and respect that underpin our engagement.
As you mark this significant Silver Jubilee, my spouse, Veena, joins me in conveying our warmest wishes for your continued success, good health and personal happiness.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Former President of the Republic of Serbia, H.E. Aleksandar Vučić, conveyed his greetings to PM Modi on completing a quarter of a century of public service at the highest level. Praising him for raising India high globally and stating that India is blessed to have his leadership, he posted on X;

“Congratulations, @NarendraModi, on completing 25 years of public service at the highest level.

Few people can say they have devoted a quarter of a century to serving their country, first as Chief Minister of Gujarat and then as Prime Minister of India.

I know how deeply you care about India and its future, and the world can see how high you have raised India. I wish you many more years of good health, strength and success in serving the great Indian people.

India is blessed to have you.”
