The High Commission of India in London also wished a speedy recovery to King Charles III, who has been diagnosed with cancer.
It came as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also wished speedy recovery and good health to the UK's King Charles III following news of his cancer diagnosis.
"I join the people of India in wishing speedy recovery and good health to His Majesty King Charles III," PM Modi wrote on 'X'.
Britain's King Charles III has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, Buckingham Palace said in a statement this week.
The King of Britain has been advised by his doctors to postpone public-facing duties. He has already begun the schedule of regular treatments after the diagnosis. However, he will continue to handle official documentation and state business as usual throughout this time.
