On this occasion almost all the neighboring countries greeted India with good wishes and hope. Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli wrote on X, “On the occasion of 76th #RepublicDay of India, I extend my warmest congratulations to Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi and the people of India. May the ideals of democracy and national unity flourish evermore, fostering deeper ties of friendship between our two nations.”

Chinese Ambassador to India H.E. Xu Feihong wrote on X, “The Chinese Embassy in India congratulates all Indian friends on the #RepublicDay.”
The High Commission of India in Colombo wrote on X, “Celebrating #RepublicDay2025. Acting HC @DrSatyanjal unfurled the #Tiranga at India House this morning. Members of the Indian diaspora in Sri Lanka joined the festivities with their patriotic fervour and resolve to realise #ViksitBharat,”
However, it’s very difficult to find wishes from Pakistan on this occasion. There is no top level comment on that. The Indian High Commission in Islamabad invited Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation Pakistan chairman Imtiaz Rasheed Qureshi to participate in the 76th Republic Day function. Addressing to the gathering, Qureshi said that 2025 would prove to be the year of friendship between India and Pakistan.
He further said that It will be a year of restoration of public relations. Visa formalities should be simplified to visit shrines/religious places in both the neighbouring countries.
