The practice follows a seven-decade-old tradition of conferring Army Chiefs of each other’s country with the honorary title.

In January last year, Chief of Nepali Army, General Purna Chandra Thapa, was also made the honorary General of the Indian Army by President Ram Nath Kovind at a ceremony in New Delhi.
