"In granting me this opportunity, you have honoured the world's largest democracy and its 1.25 billion people. This temple of democracy has encouraged and empowered other democracies the world over," he said.
"There were many who doubted India when, as a newly independent nation, we reposed our faith in democracy. Our founders created a modern nation with freedom, democracy, and equality as the essence of its soul. India applauds the great sacrifices of the men and women from 'The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave' in service of mankind," he added.
