This delegation, part of a familiarization tour organized by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), visited India from December 9 to 18, 2025.

India’s science and technology ecosystem is in the midst of a historic transformation, marked by mission-oriented programs, robust research foundations, and increasing global collaborations. This transformation positions India as a frontrunner in innovation readiness for the future.
