Presidents and Prime Ministers around the world went to Twitter to celebrate the next president of the US.

“Your success is pathbreaking, and a matter of immense pride not just for your chittis, but also for all Indian-Americans,” he tweeted. “I am confident that the vibrant India-US ties will get even stronger with your support and leadership.”

Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica, also sent special congratulations mentioning Harris’ Jamaican heritage — her father is originally from Jamaica.

Among women world leaders, Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, Erna Solberg of Norway, First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, Kersti Kaljulaid of Estonia, Simonetta Sommaruga of Switzerland, Zuzana Čaputová of Slovakia, Mia Amor Mottley of Barbados, Sanna Marin of Finland, Katerina Sakellaropoulou of Greece, Denmark Danish PM Mette Frederiksen, and Christine Lagarde of the European Central Bank all went to Twitter to congratulate Joe Biden and, in particular Kamala Harris, the first woman to become Vice President of the United States.
