President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday greeted the government and the people of Paraguay on the eve of the country's independence day.
"On behalf of the government and the people of India and on my own behalf, it gives me great pleasure to convey to you warm greetings and felicitations on the occasion of your independence day," the President said in his message to Paraguay's President Horacio Manuel Cartes Jara.
"India and Paraguay have always enjoyed warm and friendly relations. It is a matter of immense satisfaction to note that our mutually beneficial relationship continues to grow and diversify. I am confident that our relations will assume greater depth and substance in the years to come," he said.
The landlocked South American country got its independence from Spain in 1811.
