June 11 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The spokesman for the UN Secretary General, Stéphane Dujarric, congratulated this Monday the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, for his re-election for a third term at the head of the country, a historic situation as it is something that has not happened in recent years. 60 years in the country.

“Obviously we congratulate the prime minister. The secretary general (of the UN, António Guterres) hopes to continue working with Modi, and I think the people of India and the Government must be congratulated for organizing an election of this size, which frankly is not seen nowhere else in the world, in terms of numbers,” Dujarric declared during a press conference.

Modi was sworn in on Sunday as head of the country’s Government, at the beginning of a historic third term at a time of special political weakness since, for the first time since he came to power ten years ago, he has needed to quickly form a coalition government with parties of his National Democratic Alliance.

The Indian People’s Party (Bharatiya Janata or BJP) will retain key portfolios and the prime minister himself will be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and the departments of atomic energy and space.
