Indonesia made its strong presence felt in India's Republic Day parade in New Delhi when a 152-strong contingent from the Indonesian National Armed Forces participated in the event on Sunday.

The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) marching contingent showcased Indonesia’s unity and strength, with personnel from the Army, Navy, and Air Force marching together in perfect synchrony, reported ANI.

During their show, the participants were seen wearing honour guard uniforms.

Their performance was a testament to the nation’s motto, “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” or “Unity in Diversity,” reflecting Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage and commitment to national integrity, the news agency reported.

A 190-member military band from Indonesia’s Military Academy, “Genderang Suling Canka Lokananta,” also participated in the parade.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto was India's chief guest for Republic Day celebrations this year.

Indian President Droupadi Murmu led the nation in celebrating the 76th Republic Day at the Kartavya Path in New Delhi on Sunday.

With a special focus on 75 years of enactment of the Constitution and Jan Bhagidari, this year's celebrations blend India’s rich cultural diversity, unity, equality, development, and military prowess.

Around 10,000 guests witnessed the 90-minute parade, which is in line with the government’s objective to increase ‘Jan Bhagidari’ in events of national importance.

This was the first Republic Day celebrated by India since the new regime of President Donald Trump took charge on January 20.
