On Tuesday Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid his respects at the Unknown Soldiers Tomb in Moscow during his two-day official visit to Russia for the 22nd India-Russia Annual Summit. He also laid a wreath at the tomb.
‘Tomb of the Unknown Soldier’ is a war memorial located at the Kremlin wall in Moscow. It is dedicated to the Soviet soldiers who lost their lives during World War II.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal took to Twitter to post, “A solemn homage to the brave! PM @narendramodi laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow, saluting valour, sacrifice and indomitable human courage.”
Earlier, Prime Minister addressed the Indian community in Russia and said that whatever India had achieved in the last 10 years was just a trailer and that there is more to come in the upcoming years.
‘After 60 years, a government being elected for the third time in India is a very big thing in itself. State Assembly elections were held in four states- Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. The NDA won in these four states with a clean sweep majority’, he said.
“In Odisha, the Jagannath Yatra is going on. Besides, Odisha has brought about a big revolution. That is the reason why I am wearing a traditional scarf worn in Odisha,” said the Prime Minister who was clad in white kurta with a scarf from the state around his neck.
