The SICF: an active institution which is committed to India
The Patrons of the Spain India Council Foundation held a lunch with the participants in the Leaders Programme, where they talked about their interest in India
The lunch held at the Madrid Casino for the Patrons of the SICF and the Members of Indian Parliament from the IV Leaders Programme provided an opportunity to highlight the assets that have made the Council Foundation an indispensable tool for public diplomacy in Spain. Its Chairman, Antonio Escámez, addressed the attendees, describing the Foundation’s outstanding progress to date and how it has contributed, since its creation in 2009, to enhancing bilateral relations between India and Spain.
“The Leaders Programme is just one example of our activities,” he explained to the participants in this year’s programme, going on to list other events organised by the institution, including the Spain-India Forum, the Spain India Council Foundation Award and other activities such as seminars, working meetings and bilateral dialogues. The Chairman also explained that the SICF’s Patrons, government institutions and cutting-edge companies from various industries are vital to ensuring its success. “The Spain India Council Foundation is committed to its mission, but also to its Patrons. Not only because we are all global partners now, but because India is a priority for us”.
