奥巴马出席印度共和日庆典

US President Barack Obama has attended India's annual Republic Day parade, as guest of honor. It comes on the second day of a three-day visit to the country, by the US President.

Obama watched the parade in New Delhi alongside his wife Michelle, Indian President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India's military might and cultural diversity were on full display, as the parade passed by the presidential palace. Obama is the first US president to be the chief guest at the event, and the first serving US President to visit India twice. The Republic Day parade celebrates the adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1950 -- the day India became a republic, three years after it gained independence from Britain.
