Nice to see the diaspora being acknowledged. We often hear about India's ties with big countries, but Central America matters too. Hope more trade and educational exchanges follow from these talks. 🇮🇳

This is interesting. As someone from the US, I didn't realize India had such outreach in Central America. The focus on culture and yoga is a unique approach - India's soft power is definitely growing globally.

Happy to see Margherita ji engaging with multiple ministers and the vice president. But I wish we'd hear more about concrete outcomes - trade figures, investment commitments, or specific cultural exchange programs. Diplomacy needs substance beyond social media posts.

ITEC is such an underrated program! I know someone who studied in India through ITEC and now works in their country's foreign ministry. These small investments in training create lifelong friends of India. Well done on highlighting this, MoS. 👏
