President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday said members of the Indian diaspora in Romania are “true representatives of India” whose achievements contribute to New Delhi’s progress and strengthen its ties with countries across the globe. Addressing a reception, Murmu said that the strongest pillar of India-Romania relations is the close bond between the two countries.

“I am happy to see that the Indian diaspora remains united, keeping India’s rich cultural heritage alive in Romania,” she said, “I am pleased to see that Indian companies and Indian professionals are making significant contributions to Romania’s development while also creating new opportunities for cooperation between our two countries.” Murmu arrived here on Thursday on a state visit, the first by any Indian head of state to the European nation in over three decades.
