After UK's Boris Johnson cancelled his Republic Day visit to India, Republic of Suriname's President Chandrikapersad Santokhi will grace the occasion as the chief guest. Chandrikapersad is the recently elected Indian-origin President of the South American nation and was also the guest at the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention held on January 9. Earlier the British PM had to axe his visit owing to the new COVID-19 strain outbreak in Britain.
