In a major diplomatic victory for the NDA government and a massive boost to Indo-American ties, US President Barack Obama on Friday accepted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's invite to be the chief guest at India's 66th Republic Day Parade on January 26.

 

Conforming this the White House tweeted - “At the invitation of Prime Minister Modi, the President will travel to India in January 2015 to participate in the Indian Republic Day celebration in New Delhi as the Chief Guest. This visit will mark the first time a U.S. president will have the honor of attending Republic Day, which commemorates the adoption of India’s constitution. The President will meet with the Prime Minister and Indian officials to strengthen and expand the US-India strategic partnership.”

 

Obama will be the first US President to be the 'Guest of Honour' on January 26.

PM Modi had posted on Twitter informing of his invite to Prez Obama. He wrote, “This Republic Day, we hope to have a friend over…invited President Obama to be the 1st US President to grace the occasion as Chief Guest.”

Obama's acceptance of PM Modi's invite is seen as United States' effort to forge new global partnership with India.  

Former US diplomat Nicholas Burns gave a quick reaction over this development saying that 'Obama's India visit will start a new chapter of Indo-US ties', as quoted by an English news channel.

Earlier in the day, terming PM Modi's US visit as "extraordinarily successful", a top official in the Obama administration had said that US-India relationship has come "a remarkable distance".
