This Day That Age
"I am convinced that our stay in India and our meetings and talks with Indian leaders will be of great benefit to both our countries. Personal contacts and an exchange of views on various problems of domestic and foreign policy can yield considerable results in the field of cooperation," said the Yugoslav President, Marshal Tito, on arrival in New Delhi on December 17. He was received by the President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the Vice-President, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, and Prime Minister Nehru. The national anthems of Yugoslavia and India were played by the military band and a salvo of 21 guns was fired to salute the distinguished visitor. Later, the Marshal inspected a guard of honour at the New Delhi railway station. Accompanied by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, President Tito drove in an open limousine from the station through a three-mile-long route, thronged with people, to the Rashtrapati Bhavan. At the circle on the central vista, the Lancers of the President's bodyguard, mounted on chestnut and bay steeds, took over the escort of the distinguished guest. Wearing white gloves, President Tito waved smilingly to shouts of welcome from an admiring crowd as the procession wound through Connaught Place, the capital's fashionable shopping centre, down the Queensway and then to Kingsway, leading to the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Army and police outriders led the procession to the area in front of the imposing Central Secretariat, from where Marshal Tito was led into the Rashtrapati Bhavan by the President's mounted bodyguards.
