With this feat, India etched history on August 23 as Vikram Lander made a soft landing on the South Pole of the Moon. With this historic feat, India became the first country to reach the South Pole of the Moon. The world hailed India for Chandrayaan-3’s success and now Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover are currently in “sleep mode” as the set tasks have been completed.

I tweeted that this is an achievement for all human beings. I am very happy and proud of India for that achievement.”

Zha Liyou reacted as Union Minister Anurag Thakur condemned China’s refusal to grant visas to three Indian athletes.  Zha Liyou said, “Asian Games is the game for all of us. We are family and for these specific issues, I am sure the Chinese MFA and India's MEA have already said that. This is a bilateral issue and I would invite you to reach out to the Chinese Embassy. If you have any problems, I can help you.”
