On the Foundation Day of the State of Sikkim on 16.05.2023, I extend my warm greetings to the people of Sikkim residing in these Islands. Sikkim is known for its vibrant culture and is blessed with magnificent landscapes and rich flora & fauna.
It was on 16th May, 1975 that Sikkim was recognized as the 22nd State of India Union. There are not many people of Sikkim origin residing in the Islands. However, tourists from Sikkim do visit the Islands and many Islanders, visit Sikkim and return charmed by its clean environment, roads and very cordial people.
I once again greet all Sikkim people staying in these Islands, on Sikkim’s Foundation Day.
