He highlighted that this day is a "testament to our shared history and sacrifices, which have laid the foundation of our bilateral partnership."
Modi also acknowledged that the spirit of Bangladesh's Liberation War continues to guide the relationship between the two nations, which has flourished across multiple domains, benefiting both peoples.
He reaffirmed India's commitment to advancing this partnership, built on mutual respect and a shared vision for peace, stability, and prosperity.
"Our relationship is driven by common aspirations, and we remain sensitive to each other's interests and concerns," he stated.
In a similar gesture, Indian President Droupadi Murmu conveyed warm greetings to her Bangladeshi counterpart, Mohammed Shahabuddin, on the occasion of Bangladesh’s National Day.

She further stated that Bangladesh is a key focus of India’s "Neighbourhood First" and "Act East" policies, as well as its SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region) doctrine and Indo-Pacific Vision.
"India reiterates its support for a democratic, stable, inclusive, peaceful, and progressive Bangladesh," Murmu added.
