Bainimarama says Modi’s election to lead his great country and its people is a clear testimony of confidence and trust that the people of India have with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

He adds Modi’s democracy, the world’s largest, stands witness to India’s deep commitment to the secular values to which his government feels particularly attached.
