Congratulations pour in for Modi from leaders across the world

China also said it is willing to work with the new Indian government to take their bilateral strategic partnership to a new height.

“China is willing to make joint efforts with new Indian government, maintain high level exchanges, deepen cooperation in all areas and bring China-India strategic partnership to new height,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing in response to a question on BJP's victory in the elections.

Reaching out to Modi in a warm letter, Bangladesh Premier Hasina said that with the kind of people's mandate given to their respective parties they can work together to take the bilateral relationship to “increasingly greater heights”.

“I am delighted to see a great friend of Bangladesh leading an extremely friendly country, India, in the coming days,” Hasina said in her letter to Modi, BJP's prime ministerial candidate.

“I hope that you would find my country your second home and first destination for your official visit abroad,” she said.

Hasina said “the decisive verdict given by the people of your great country is a strong testimony to your dynamic, inspiring and visionary leadership qualities and manifestation of the trust and confidence reposed in you by the people of the largest democracy in the world.”
