Great initiative by ICCR. Such exchanges are so important for soft diplomacy and sharing knowledge. Hope the discussions on AI in smart cities lead to something concrete for both nations.

Impressive showcase, but I hope our officials also learn from European cities about sustainable living and public transport. Our metro projects are good, but last-mile connectivity is still a major issue in Ahmedabad.

Hope this leads to some investment and job opportunities in Gujarat. Dholera and the bullet train project need this kind of international attention. Good step forward!
