Your Excellency Mr. Almazbek Atambaev

President of the Kyrgyz Republic,

Ladies and Gentlemen, 

Members of the Media,

I am delighted to welcome President Almazbek Atambaev on his first state visit to India. Excellency, the warmth of your hospitality and welcome during my visit to the Kyrgyz Republic in July last year is still fresh in my mind. Your visit this time helps us to carry forward the momentum of our cooperation and high level contacts. The relationship between India and the Kyrgyz Republic is filled with goodwill from centuries of shared historical links. Our societies share a sense of warmth that permeates our contacts with Central Asia, including the Kyrgyz Republic. We are also bound by a common belief in democratic values and traditions. Much credit goes to President Atambaev for nurturing and building strong foundations of democracy in Kyrgyz Republic.

Friends,

President Atambaev and I held extensive discussions on the full range of our bilateral engagement. We focused on our common priority of diversifying and deepening bilateral engagement. We also discussed how we could work together to secure our youth and society against the common challenges of terrorism, extremism, and radicalism. We agreed on the need to coordinate and work closely in addressing and overcoming these challenges for our common benefit. We regard Kyrgyz Republic as a valuable partner in our common pursuit of making Central Asia a region of sustainable peace, stability and prosperity. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization will also give us a valuable framework to work together on these issues.

 Friends,

President Atambaev and I reviewed our cooperative engagement in the defence field. The Kyrgyz-India Mountain Bio-Medical Research Center is an excellent example of successful collaboration. It has proved to be a rewarding research initiative, which we need to build on. We have commenced work on a Kyrgyz-India Joint Military Training Center in Kyrgyz Republic. Our joint military exercises on counter-terrorism are now an annual feature. The next edition has been planned for first quarter of next year in Kyrgyz Republic. 

 Friends,

President Atambaev and I agreed on the need to connect our economies more deeply. To this end, we will work to strengthen bilateral trade and economic linkages, and facilitate greater people-to-people exchanges. We will encourage industry and business on both sides to play a leading role in exploiting opportunities in healthcare, tourism, information technology, agriculture, mining and energy. We have decided to build on our development cooperation including in capacity building and training. People have been at the center of such initiatives. We shall give special emphasis to youth exchanges in our technical and economic cooperation programme with Kyrgyz Republic. The understandings concluded today will support our thrust in these directions. In a first with the Central Asian region, we had initiated tele-medicine links with Kyrgyz Republic last year. We are taking steps to expand this project to other regions of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Friends,

India and the Kyrgyz Republic will be marking the 25th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries in March 2017. As we approach this milestone, President Atambaev’s visit to India will drive the process and our efforts of deepening our partnership. It will also help consolidate the recent gains in our engagement and reinforce our ties in the months and years ahead. I wish President Atambaev a memorable and productive visit in India.

Thank You.
Thank you very much.

PM Modi addresses BJP karyakartas at felicitation of New Party President
January 20, 2026
Our presidents change, but our ideals do not. The leadership changes, but the direction remains the same: PM Modi at BJP HQ
Nitin Nabin ji has youthful energy and long experience of working in organisation, this will be useful for every party karyakarta, says PM Modi
PM Modi says the party will be in the hands of Nitin Nabin ji, who is part of the generation which has seen India transform, economically and technologically
BJP has focused on social justice and last-mile delivery of welfare schemes, ensuring benefits reach the poorest and most marginalised sections of society: PM
In Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, the people snatched power from the Left after 45 years in the mayoral elections and placed their trust in BJP: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed party leaders and karyakartas during the felicitation ceremony of the newly elected BJP President, Nitin Nabin, at the party headquarters in New Delhi. Congratulating Nitin Nabin, the Prime Minister said, “The organisational election process reflects the BJP’s commitment to internal democracy, discipline and a karyakarta-centric culture. I congratulate karyakartas across the country for strengthening this democratic exercise.”

Highlighting the BJP’s leadership legacy, Prime Minister Modi said, “From Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee to Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and other senior leaders, the BJP has grown through experience, service and organisational strength. Three consecutive BJP-NDA governments at the Centre reflect this rich tradition.”

Speaking on the leadership of Nitin Nabin, the PM remarked, “Organisational expansion and karyakarta development are the BJP’s core priorities.” He emphasised that the party follows a worker-first philosophy, adding that Nitin Nabin’s simplicity, organisational experience and youthful energy would further strengthen the party as India enters a crucial phase on the path to a Viksit Bharat.

Referring to the BJP’s ideological foundation, Prime Minister Modi said, “As the Jan Sangh completes 75 years, the BJP stands today as the world’s largest political party. Leadership may change, but the party’s ideals, direction and commitment to the nation remain constant.”

On public trust and electoral growth, the Prime Minister observed that over the past 11 years, the BJP has consistently expanded its footprint across states and institutions. He noted that the party has gained the confidence of citizens from Panchayats to Parliament, reflecting sustained public faith in its governance model. He said, “Over the past 11 years, the BJP has formed governments for the first time on its own in Haryana, Assam, Tripura and Odisha. In West Bengal and Telangana, the BJP has emerged as a strong and influential voice of the people.”

“Over the past one-and-a-half to two years, public trust in the BJP has strengthened further. Whether in Assembly elections or local body polls, the BJP’s strike rate has been unprecedented. During this period, Assembly elections were held in six states, of which the BJP-NDA won four,” he added.

Describing the BJP’s evolution into a party of governance, he said the party today represents stability, good governance and sensitivity. He highlighted that the BJP has focused on social justice and last-mile delivery of welfare schemes, ensuring benefits reach the poorest and most marginalised sections of society.

“Today, the BJP is also a party of governance. After independence, the country has seen different models of governance - the Congress's dynastic politics model, the Left's model, the regional parties' model, the era of unstable governments... but today the country is witnessing the BJP's model of stability, good governance, and development,” he said.

PM Modi asserted, “The people of the country are committed to building a Developed India by 2047. That is why the reform journey we began over the past 11 years has now become a Reform Express. We must accelerate the pace of reforms at the state and city levels wherever BJP-NDA governments are in power.”

Addressing national challenges, Prime Minister Modi said, “Decisive actions on Article 370, Triple Talaq and internal security show our resolve to put national interest first.” He added that combating challenges like infiltration, urban naxalism and dynastic politics remained a priority.

Concluding his address, the Prime Minister said, “The true strength of the BJP lies in its karyakartas, especially at the booth level. Connecting with every citizen, ensuring last-mile delivery of welfare schemes and working collectively for a Viksit Bharat remain our shared responsibility.”
