Republic Day 2024 / Why is Joe Biden not coming to India on Republic Day? Here are those 3 reasons

Republic Day 2024: US President Joe Biden will not attend the Republic Day (January 26) celebrations next month. During the G-20 meeting, PM Modi had invited Biden to attend the Republic Day celebrations. Now the question is arising that why has Joe Biden refused to attend the Republic Day celebrations on January 26 even after being invited by PM Modi?

US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti had told in September that PM Modi has invited President Biden to attend the Republic Day celebrations on January 26 next year. It is being told that the Biden administration has informed India that the US President will not be able to attend the Republic Day celebrations. Mainly three reasons have emerged for Biden not coming to India.

The first reason for Biden not coming to India

The US President's 'State of the Union' address is also being held responsible for Joe Biden not attending the Republic Day celebrations. This address by Biden is likely to happen before January 30. Therefore, he has refused to participate in the Republic Day celebrations on 26 January. This address is also very important for Biden because after this he has to go to the elections and presidential elections are going to be held in America in 2025. Last year this address took place on 9 February.

Another reason for the US President not coming to India

The second reason behind the US President not coming to India is said to be the postponement of the Quad conference to be held next month. Quad includes India, Japan, Australia and India. The Quad conference to be held next month was postponed because Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida would not be able to attend it. This is because at the time when the Quad conference was to be held, the Diet session of the Parliament would be held in Japan. In such a situation, the presence of the Japanese Prime Minister is necessary in this session.

Third reason

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is also unable to attend the Quad conference to be held in the last week of January. This is because Australia National Day falls on 26 January. After this, the date remaining was falling around the State of the Union address of the US President. That's why Biden decided to withdraw from India tour
