Prime Minister Narendra Modi stood in tribute to the Indian Army and Navy contingents as they marched during the 50th Independence Day celebrations of Seychelles on Sunday, highlighting New Delhi’s prominent participation in the Golden Jubilee event during his three-day official visit to the island nation.
The specialised military units from India took part in a grand parade marking the half-century anniversary of the East African country’s independence. As they marched through the capital, the Army contingent performed the iconic regimental song, ‘Badlu Ram Ka Badan’, which emerged as a major highlight of the parade.
The Prime Minister later shared images from the Seychelles National Day celebrations on social media platform X, conveying his gratitude to President Patrick Herminie.
The Prime Minister arrived in Seychelles on Saturday to begin his three-day diplomatic itinerary. Throughout his stay, he is scheduled to hold high-level discussions with the host leadership and join multiple events commemorating the landmark 50 years of Seychellois independence.
India’s military presence at the historic parade comprised personnel from the Assam Regiment of the Indian Army, alongside the Indian Navy’s frontline stealth frigate INS Tarkash and the indigenously engineered Survey Vessel Large INS Ikshak, reflecting the strategic footprint of the Indian armed forces in the commemorative event.
