San Jose, May 10

The Minister of State for External Affairs, Pabitra Margherita, on Sunday inaugurated the 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' Wall in University of Peace in Costa Rica's San Jose.

While sharing pictures on social media platform X, MoS Margherita said, "Proud to inaugurate the 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' Wall at the University of Peace in Costa Rica.

The MoS also paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at the University of Peace.

In a post on X, he wrote, "Bapuji belonged not just to India but to all of humanity. His message of peace and non-violence echoes across every corner of the world."

He also planted a sapling under 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' initiative in Costa Rica.

In another post on X, MoS Margherita said, "A sapling planted today in San Jose, Costa Rica, in the spirit of PM Narendra Modi ji's inspiring initiative 'Ek ped maa ke naam'. May it grow as strong and enduring as the friendship between India and Costa Rica. India remains committed to a greener, more sustainable world for generations to come."

On Saturday, Pabitra Margherita inaugurated a new office centre of Feuji, a global Indian IT Deep Tech company, in Costa Rica.

'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' - what a beautiful initiative! PM Modi's vision is truly global now. From planting trees in Costa Rica to sharing our values of peace and non-violence, this is how India is showing leadership on the world stage. The Costa Rica-India friendship is growing stronger! 🌿

I'm a Canadian living in San Jose and I was there for the inauguration! The 'World is One Family' message is exactly what we need in today's divided world. So wonderful to see India and Costa Rica collaborating on peace education. The tree planting was a lovely touch too. 🌳☮️

Honestly, while this is nice diplomatic gesture, I hope we're also focusing on practical trade and development partnerships with Central America. Our IT companies like Feuji are doing good work there, but we need more concrete outcomes beyond symbolic walls and tree planting. Just saying...

Bapuji's message of peace truly transcends borders! 🙏 Proud to see our Minister paying tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at the University of Peace. Costa Rica is known for having no army and being a peaceful nation, so this is a perfect cultural match. India leading the way in universal brotherhood! ❤️

Great to see India's growing engagement with Latin America! From IT to philosophy, this visit covers all bases. The Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam Wall is a brilliant concept - it literally spells out India's worldview in a public space abroad. More of this please! 🌏🇮🇳
