President Emmanuel Macron of France graces Republic Day celebrations

NEW DELHI. India rolled out the red carpet for President Emanuel Macron of France, this year’s Chief Guest at the 75th Republic Day celebrations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi receiving him at Jaipur ahead of his arrival in Delhi for the event.

It was the sixth time that a French leader was the Chief Guest at the Parade, which this year witnessed the participation of French defence forces comprising a marching contingent, military band, fighter jets and a multirole aircraft tanker.

The unique feature of the event was that President Macron graced the occasion, six months after he had invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the French National Day on July 14 in Paris last year.

On a perfect January morning, under a warm winter sun that bathed the majestic Kartavya Path, the visiting dignitary and members of his delegation were treated to a rare combination of India’s military might and showcasing of its diverse and rich cultural heritage.

The delegation were in the august company of President Droupadi Murmu, the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, Prime Minister Modi and members of his Council of Ministers.

On January 25, PM Modi hosted President Macron at Jaipur, meeting him at Jantar Mantar, the 18th century solar observatory which features on UNESCO world heritage list. The leaders travelled in open vehicle towards Hawa Mahal, the iconic tourist landmark in the city.
