The renowned Lúčnica Ensemble performed a stirring rendition of “Vande Mataram”. In a traditional Slovak bread-and-salt ceremony, the Prime Minister was offered bread and salt, a deeply rooted symbol of friendship, hospitality, and goodwill. The celebrations featured spirited folk dancing by the Kopaniciarik Ensemble from the Myjava region.
Large crowds of the Indian community gathered to welcome him, chanting slogans praising both leaders and their countries.
