“Congratulations @MichealMartinTD on assuming office as Tanaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence of Ireland. Look forward to working together to further strengthen our ties,” he tweeted.

Notably, Martin served as Ireland’s Taoiseach (head of the government) from 2020 to 2022.

Indian-Origin Leo Varadkar takes over from Micheal Martin, who assumes Varadkar’s previous role as Tanaiste in the rotation agreement signed in 2020. On December 17, Micheal Martin called it an “honour of a lifetime” to serve as Taoiseach.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Saturday, congratulated Leo Varadkar on assuming office as Ireland’s Taoiseach (head of the government).

“Congratulations @LeoVaradkar on assuming office as Taoiseach for the second time. Highly value our historical ties, shared constitutional values & multi-faceted cooperation with Ireland. Look forward to working together to realise the full potential of our vibrant economies,” PM Modi said.

Leo Varadkar, former Irish Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Fine Gael party, was elected as the new prime minister of Ireland following a vote in the lower house of the Irish parliament on Saturday.

A total of 87 members of the house voted in favour of his nomination as the new prime minister while 62 members voted against it on Saturday.
