This is the third consecutive time India has invited a leader from an East Asian country to be the chief guest at the Republic Day parade, an honour accorded to special friends with which New Delhi wishes to accelerate its diplomatic and economic ties.Shinawatra will be the third guest from a Southeastern nation to be accorded this honour in as many years. South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak was the chief guest in 2010, followed by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in 2011.
This year, India hosted Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as the chief quest at the Republic Day function. Last year, the honour went to South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.
