PM Modi congratulates Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff on re-election

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today congratulated Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on her re-election, saying he looks forward to working with her for strengthening relations between the nations.

"Congratulations to @dilmabr on her re-election as the President of Brazil! My best wishes to her for the 2nd term," the Prime Minister said.

Brazil's left-leaning President was re-elected for the second term after a bitter campaign in the tightest race the nation has seen since its return to democracy three decades ago.

"I look forward to continuing to work with @dilmabr to strengthen India-Brazil relations in the years to come," the Prime Minister said.
