Event Description : Ananta Aspen Centre presents "India's future with Latin America and the Caribbean" panel discussion. 

India enjoys an amicable relationship with the Latin American and Caribbean region, with close bilateral as well as multilateral interaction. An emerging growth centre, the region constitutes a dynamic and resource-rich part of the world that is witnessing increasing democratization and surging economic growth. In modern times, the two sides have articulated common positions on global issues such as global trade, climate change, and energy. There is a burgeoning trade in crude oil, manufactures and agro-products and many Indian businesses are now setting up offices in Latin America. India also shares a special bond with people of Indian origin in some of the Caribbean nations, who form a valuable link of friendship and understanding between the two regions.

Nevertheless, huge opportunities remain unexplored towards establishing and sustaining relations with the Latin American and Caribbean countries. With a large base of agricultural and natural resources, Latin American nations can provide an ideal solution to India’s energy and food security issues. To better understand Latin America and carry out a sustained effort to engage with the region, Ambassador Deepak Bhojwani in his book Latin America, the Caribbean and India: Promise and Challenge traces the region’s historic, political and economic evolution, as well as its historic and current relations with India. The Session will focus on current challenges and opportunities for development of bilateral and regional relations between India and Latin America and the Caribbean region in political, economic, commercial, cultural, energy, connectivity, and people to people relations.

Speakers: 
General V K Singh, Hon’ble Minister of State for External Affairs, Government of India
Ambassador Deepak Bhojwani, Former Ambassador of India to Colombia, Venezuela and Cuba
Ambassador Melba Pria,  Ambassador of Mexico to India
Ambassador Tovar da Silva Nunes, Ambassador of Brazil to India

Chair: Ambassador S K Lambah, Chairman, Ananta Aspen Centre and Former Special Envoy of the Prime Minister of India
