US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama landed in New Delhi this morning. The President had several engagements since, including a ceremonial reception, a visit to Mahatma Gandhi's Samadhi at Rajghat and a lunch meeting and discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House.
Here's what he has said so far:
"It is a great honour to be back in India."
"It is hard to match this one (his reception in India)."
"We are so grateful for the extraordinary hospitality."
"What Dr Martin Luther King Jr said then remains true today - "the spirit of Gandhi is very much alive in India Today. And it remains a great gift to the world. May we always live in his spirit of love and peace- among all people & nations," President Obama wrote in the visitors' book at Rajghat.
"President Obama is honored to be back in #India to celebrate Republic Day and to begin a new chapter in the US-India partnership. Jai Hind!" tweeted White House soon after the US President landed in Delhi.
