Possibility of Quad Summit in India
There is speculation about the possibility of India hosting the Quad Summit around the same time as Republic Day. However, US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti mentioned that Prime Minister Modi did not discuss the Quad during his invitation to President Biden.
If accepted, the Quad Summit could be scheduled for January 25, as January 26 is Australia’s National Day, and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese may not be available on that date.
Past Republic Day Chief Guests
In recent years, India has welcomed esteemed leaders as chief guests for its Republic Day celebrations. Notable guests have included Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and leaders of all 10 ASEAN countries. These occasions have highlighted India’s commitment to fostering international friendships.
