“I value the bond between our nations and look forward to building on it in the years ahead,” he wrote.

Lastly, Skerrit wished Prime Minister Modi good health, strength, and continued success in his service to the people of India on behalf of the Government and people of Dominica.

Both the leaders share a very good bond as they have met on several occasions in recent years and deepened their relations with each other.

The partnership between India and Dominica has developed over the years in renewable energy, health, disaster management, and capacity-building among others.

The relationship between the two nations has been particularly significant since the COVID-19 pandemic, during which India assisted Dominica in its time of need by donating its Vaccine Maitri initiative and donating 70,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines.

India has also provided a total of $250,000 in aid towards five community development projects developing across Dominica, which includes the rehabilitation of a basketball court in Grand Bay and construction of a footpath crossing, in Fond St. Jean.
