Leaders from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka arrive for inauguration

(26 May 2014) World leaders began arriving in New Delhi on Monday ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of India's new prime minister, Narendra Modi. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa all touched down in the Indian capital for Monday evening's ceremony. Sharif accepted Modi's invitation on Saturday to attend a ceremony that is attracting a slew of foreign dignitaries. The Pakistani leader's presence at the inauguration signals an easing of tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours, analysts said. India's President, Pranab Mukherjee, will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Modi and his cabinet ministers at an inaugural event to be held at the presidential palace. Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won a resounding victory in general elections. Modi has promised to revitalise the economy and restore India as a leading global power.
