On Thursday, Moon congratulated PM Modi for the latter’s efforts to make yoga a global phenomenon. In a series of tweets, the South Korean leader recognised India as the home of yoga and said that PM Modi had requested for his participation in the International Day of Yoga.
“Today marks the International Day of Yoga as designated by the United Nations. It is a day of global celebrations for all those who love yoga. I received a letter from Prime Minister Modi of India, the home of yoga, asking me to join in the celebrations. @narendramodi,” said Moon.
Underlining the role played by yoga in ensuring that people stay healthy, Moon extended his greetings to both the Indian PM and the people of India.
“I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Prime Minister Modi and the Indian people. As a means of seeking harmony between nature and man as well as between body and mind, yoga is widely loved in Korea also,” he wrote.
“Last Sunday, many people gathered at Gwanghwamun Plaza in Seoul to celebrate the International Day of Yoga. In line with the aspirations embodied by yoga, I hope that happiness and peace spread all around the world,” said the 65-year-old Moon.
The South Korean leader is scheduled to visit India in the first week of July. The date has not been finalised yet.
