President of Kyrgyzstan attends Modi's swearing-in ceremony

AKIPRESS.COM - President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbai Jeenbekov attended the inauguration of Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on May 30 in New Delhi.
Jeenbekov's office said the head of state will arrive in Saudi Arabia on May 31 for the 14th Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Mecca, where he was invited by the Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The session of the OIC will be the 50th under the slogan "Together to the Future."
Narendra Modi, 68, has been sworn in for a second term as India's prime minister after his party won a landslide majority in the May election.
A new cabinet has also been sworn in, and includes the chief of Mr Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Amit Shah is credited with steering the party to victory in the election, the results of which were announced last week.
A BJP-led alliance won 354 seats in the 545-member lower house, known as the Lok Sabha.
Mr Modi retained his seat of Varanasi by a margin of nearly half a million votes. He has become the first leader since 1971 to secure a single party majority in back-to-back elections.
His government will be under pressure to deal with a slowdown in India's economy and provide more jobs. The new government suffered a blow on Wednesday when Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said he was standing down for health reasons.
