Serbian President arrives in Delhi for AI Summit

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic arrives in New Delhi for the AI India Summit, aiming to strengthen bilateral ties and shape global AI governance.

"His participation in India-AI Impact Summit will impart further momentum to the strong and close friendship between India and Serbia. - Randhir Jaiswal"

New Delhi, February 18

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic on Tuesday arrived in Delhi to attend the AI India Summit.

Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, Randhir Jaiswal, said that the visit will further raise the momentum between India and Serbia.

In a post on X, Jaiswal said, "Warm welcome to President of Serbia, Mr. Aleksandar Vucic. He was received by Union Minister of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita on his arrival at the airport in New Delhi. His participation in India-AI Impact Summit will impart further momentum to the strong and close friendship between India and Serbia."

India is hosting the AI Impact Summit in February 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, as a global convening to shape the future of inclusive, responsible, and resilient Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Building on the momentum of previous multilateral initiatives including the Bletchley Park, Seoul, Paris, and Kigali Summits, the AI Impact Summit is envisaged to mark a shift from aspirations to impact, demonstrating how AI can deliver tangible outcomes for People, Planet, and Progress.

As the first Global AI Summit of this series to take place in the Global South, the Impact Summit will advance a future where the transformative impact of AI serves humanity, advances inclusive growth, fosters social development, and promotes people-centric innovations that protect our planet.

The Summit builds on extensive groundwork, including five rounds of public consultations and global outreach sessions in Paris, Berlin, Oslo, New York, Geneva, Bangkok, and Tokyo. Regional events across India have ensured grassroots voices are represented, while over 50 affiliated Pre-Summit Events worldwide have generated actionable insights and broadened participation. Complemented by curated consultation sessions for the flagship events and working groups, these efforts reflect India's deeply participatory approach to the Impact Summit.

AI today stands at an inflection point, with the power to reshape economies, accelerate scientific discovery, and address urgent global challenges, but also the potential to widen divides if left unchecked. The Summit provides a platform to bridge this gap, ensuring that the future of AI is shaped by collective action and shared responsibility.

While the summit's goals are noble, I hope the discussions move beyond just aspirations. We need clear frameworks for ethical AI that prevent job losses in countries like India and ensure technology serves the common man, not just corporations.

Serbia is an interesting partner. Good diplomatic move. But the real test is whether this summit will produce actionable policies for Indian startups and researchers, or remain a high-level talk shop. The public consultations are a good step though.

As someone working in tech, the focus on "People, Planet, and Progress" is crucial. AI development must be inclusive. Glad to see regional events across India were held – voices from tier 2/3 cities matter in this conversation.

Bharat Mandapam is becoming a true hub for global discourse! From G20 to AI summits. This puts India firmly on the map for shaping the future of critical technology. Jai Hind!

Hope they discuss AI for agriculture and healthcare specifically for our Indian context. We have unique challenges that Western solutions don't address. The summit being in the Global South is a big opportunity for that.
