From the perspective of the Indian Government, an invitation to be the Republic Day chief guest is highly symbolic. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi became the first Egyptian President to get invited to the 74th Republic day of India as a chief guest.
In 1953, the office of the President of Egypt was first established. The state of Egypt is headed by the president. He is also the Supreme Commander of the Egyptian Armed Forces.
The current president of Egypt is Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, he was officially elected president in 2014.
Mohammed Naguib was the first president of Egypt. He was part of the leaders of the Free Officers Movement. Back then they led the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. Naguib took office on 18 June 1953, which was the same day on which Egypt was declared a Republic.
The country had to go through some harsh times when Sadat was assassinated and Sufi Abu acted as president before the election of his successor, Adly Mansour.
el-Sisi, the current President took office on 8 June 2014, after being elected by the presidential election held on 26–28 May 2014. He was re-elected by the presidential election held on 26–28 March 2018.
