President of the Republic of Suriname, Chandrikapersad Santokhi, will be the new chief guest at India’s Republic Day parade on January 26 in New Delhi.
The announcement came days after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson cancelled his visit to India amid new covid-19 strain.
Santokhi was sworn in as the president of Suriname in July, 2020, when his party, the Progressive Reform Party, won 20 of the 51 seats in the elections.
