India has invited Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as the chief guest for the Republic Day in 2023.
Egypt is among the nine guest countries invited to the G20 Summit under India’s presidency in 2023.
Abdel Fattah Sisi is a former Army officer who was elected as the president of Egypt t in 2014 and was re-elected in 2018.
An invitation as chief guest for the Republic Day celebrations on January 26 is a signal honour reserved for the country’s close allies and partners.
There were no chief guests at the celebrations in 2021 and 2022, largely because of disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro was the last chief guest to participate in the 2020 celebrations.
