India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, hosted 27 Indian diaspora journalists from 11 countries on Monday as part of the 79th edition of the Know India Programme (KIP). The 45-minute interaction focused on India’s achievements and the role of its global diaspora under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“The Indian diaspora is not just a bridge to the world but a vital part of India's growth story,” he said, praising their contributions both to their host countries and India.
The journalists, hailing from countries including Malaysia, Mauritius, Singapore, Indonesia, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Kenya, and New Zealand, shared their observations about India’s progress. Several participants noted the country’s journey from its post-colonial beginnings to becoming a vibrant, modern economy.
This year’s KIP, running from Nov.25 to Dec.13, features a range of activities designed to deepen the diaspora’s connection with their Indian roots. The program includes cultural tours and interactions with policymakers, aiming to strengthen ties between India and its global community.
The Know India Programme was established by the Indian government to provide diaspora journalists with firsthand experience of India’s advancements and to foster media collaboration. Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Jaishankar underscored its significance, stating that it serves as a platform to explore opportunities for greater engagement within the media sector.
The session served as a key moment in connecting India’s diaspora with the country’s ongoing development and reaffirming the government’s commitment to fostering stronger global ties.
