"Congratulations Prime Minister Modi Ji on your laudable victory for a historic third term. Under your helm, the largest democracy will continue to achieve remarkable progress. Long live the Mauritius-India special relationship," said Mauritius Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth in a post.

PM Modi was congratulated for his third consecutive term by Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal. "Congratulations to PM Narendra Modi on the electoral success of BJP and NDA in the Lok Sabha elections for the third consecutive term. We are happy to note the successful completion of the world's largest democratic exercise with enthusiastic participation of the people of India," Dahal said in a post.

Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay expressed his eagerness to deepen ties with India. "Congratulations to my friend PM Narendra Modi-ji and NDA for the historic 3rd consecutive win in the world's biggest elections. As he continues to lead Bharat to great heights, I look forward to working closely with him to further strengthen the relations between our two countries," Tobgay said.

PM Modi responded by thanking his Nepali and Bhutanese counterparts and said India will continue to work together with Kathmandu and Thimphu.

"Look forward to continued cooperation to strengthen India-Nepal friendship," PM Modi said, responding to Nepal's Dahal's message.

Sri Lanka stated that the victory showed the confidence Indians have in Narendra Modi's leadership.

"I extend my warmest felicitations to the BJP-led NDA on its victory, demonstrating the confidence of the Indian people in the progress and prosperity under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi. As the closest neighbour, Sri Lanka looks forward to further strengthening the partnership with India," said Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu also sent a congratulatory message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Congratulations to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the BJP and BJP-led NDA, on the success in the 2024 Indian General Election, for the third consecutive term. I look forward to working together to advance our shared interests in pursuit of shared prosperity and stability for our two countries," Muizzu said in a post.

India and Maldives relations have suffered some setbacks recently due to Muizzu's own stance on India as well due to remarks made by his ministers on India and PM Modi on social media but the Muizzu government said it will work together with India.
