00:00to move to the next stage.
00:02If you look at trade today,
00:05there is a good possibility that this will increase.
00:14Ambassador has been telling me
00:15that a lot of new areas are today under consideration.
00:21Or it's made copy with star say hum logo
00:23kibad be with the arch that we are looking at areas
00:29like railways, like auto sector, clean technologies.
00:34These all offer new drone space.
00:37These are all possibilities for greater collaboration.
00:42But there is in a way also developments in the world
00:48which will bring us closer.
00:50That I've done today, I've come to New York
00:53and I'll do it today, I'll just take that.
00:57So those countries who are close to each other,
01:01who feel that supply chains, contracts are honored,
01:06supply chains can be built, relationships can be expanded.
01:11They have the ability today really to forge closer relations.
01:15So, yeah, just billion,
01:17we are very confident that in the coming days
01:25it will definitely be something which is very much higher.
01:31In all of this, I must tell you,
01:33and this did not surprise me at all,
01:35that I heard very good words for the community.
01:40Minister Alvarez,
01:42so I said I'm meeting the community.
01:46So he was very effusive, said that look,
01:49you have a community whose image is very good,
01:54that they are contributing to the economy, to the society.
01:59We feel that Indian talent,
02:01Indian professionals are very welcome here.
02:05It is something I hear across the world,
02:08but every time I hear it, I feel good.
02:10So I want to thank all of you that when we say,
02:14you know, I mean, foreign minister,
02:18yeah, diplomacy, what is it we try to do?
02:23We try to build the image of the country.
02:26But when that image is built by the community,
02:29yeah,
02:34that for us is like a, like I would say, really a big,
02:38I won't even say bonus.
02:39It is actually, it's a foundation
02:43on which we actually take forward our relationship.
02:48And I heard very good words.
02:51And I must say for me,
02:55because we have just two days ago
02:59come out of the Prawasi Bharti Diwas celebrations in India.
03:03And I was very glad to note,
03:14I think this year among the Saman awardees,
03:17there is an awardee from Spain, Mr. Nahar.
03:22And I think there were also a representative from Spain
03:25who spoke on the occasion, Mr. Mehta.
03:28So on the community side, you know,
03:32it is community has always been a support
03:35for Indian foreign policy.
03:36That is the case here also.
03:38And I take the opportunity to express
03:41my appreciation and gratitude.
03:45In terms of our people to people relations,
03:48it's made though, though we share hand,
03:50you may have to look at John Milano Chatham.
03:53One, which, you know, I met some people coming in
03:57who are from Barcelona.
03:59So I hope you welcome that we have a consulate there.
04:02And we have a consul general also with us today.
04:06So the fact that we have a consulate
04:10and there will also, I believe,
04:12soon be a Spanish consulate in Bengaluru.
04:15So these are good signs.
04:17These are good signs that our relationship is deepening.
04:21And you create more, you know,
04:25higher or bigger establishment
04:27because you can say the business is becoming bigger.
04:31So as the relationship deepens for us to have a consulate
04:36and, you know, who knows where we will be
04:39further in the future.
04:40This is something which is a good development.
04:43The other development which I want to share with you
04:45is that we have decided that 2026,
04:50we will market as a, as what they call,
04:53I think a dual year, right?
04:55A dual year where we will be celebrating culture,
04:59tourism, art.
