Days after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson cancelled his visit to India for Republic Day, sources in the Prime Minister바카라™s Office (PMO) say that President of Republic of Suriname, Chandrikapersad Santokhi will be the chief guest at India's Republic Day parade on January 26.
According to a News18 report, Indian-Origin Santokhi will be attending the Rajpath parade.
When Boris Johnson cancelled his visit over fears of increasing cases of new Covid strain, it was being speculated that this year바카라™s Republic Day will be celebrated without a chief guest.
Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention, which was organised earlier this week by the Ministry of External Affairs had Santokhi as the chief guest too.
 Suriname is a former Dutch colony where people of Indian descent make up the largest ethnic group.
