Egypt's President to be the chief guest
It should be mentioned here that Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would be the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations in 2023. Al-Sisi's visit to India as the chief guest also holds importance as both countries are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year.
"This is the first time that the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt will be the chief guest at our Republic Day," the MEA said in a statement.
