UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis said he was delighted to arrive in India when the country was celebrating its “second Diwali.”

“Namaste, Bharat. Delighted to arrive in New Delhi on an auspicious day when the country is celebrating its ‘Second Diwali’. Looking forward to fruitful discussions over the next few days on Peace, Progress, Prosperity, and Sustainability,” the Francis said.

South Korea’s embassy said the consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya was of special significance to the country.

“The place holds a great symbolic importance for Korea-India relations based on the matrimonial link between Queen Sriratna (Heo Hwang-ok) from Ayodhya and King Kim Suro from Gaya (Korea) in 48 AD,” the embassy said.

“We hope this family-like and spiritual bonds between our two nations will continue to strengthen and deepen, inspired by the idealism personified in Lord Ram as Maryada Purushottam,” the embassy said on X, formerly Twitter.
