Diaspora Diplomacy: Indian Cultural Ambassadors Strengthen Ties in Moscow

Indian Ambassador to Russia, Vinay Kumar, highlighted the importance of the Indian diaspora as cultural bridges between India and Russia at a Russia Day event in Moscow. He lauded their role as conduits of India's rich cultural values.

The celebration, held at the Indian Embassy, featured the launch of 'Varta Patrika', a magazine by the local NRI Club, aimed at minimizing the information divide for Indian tourists in Russia. Despite a holiday period attracting travelers, the event saw a full house with Russian and Indian attendees.

Officials from Russia's Foreign Ministry, Indian-related departments, and private sector executives attended the event. Cultural showcases included Russian and Indian dances performed by students and artists, further substantiating the enduring partnership between the two nations.
