00:00 In a significant development that deepens the cultural ties with India, a Hindu temple,
00:07 Sabka Mandir, has been opened in Taiwan.
00:10 It marks a significant milestone in the people-to-people connection between the two sides.
00:15 At the heart of this remarkable achievement is Andy Singaria, an Indian expatriate of
00:19 two decades and owner of a renowned Indian restaurant in Taiwan.
00:24 This landmark achievement not only solidifies the enduring ties between the two nations
00:28 but also underscores Taiwan's commitment to embracing its diverse community and promoting
00:34 harmonious relationships.
00:35 So, who is the man behind this temple?
00:39 At the heart of this historic occasion is Andy Singaria, an Indian expatriate who has
00:43 called Taiwan his home for the past two years.
00:46 Known for his ownership of a renowned Indian restaurant in Taiwan, Aria's passion for preserving
00:51 his heritage and creating a sense of belonging for his fellow countrymen played a pivotal
00:55 role in materializing the temple project.
00:58 This temple, a symbol of unity and spirituality, is a testament to the efforts of one individual's
01:03 dedication to nurturing cultural connections.
01:06 So, how will the temple strengthen India-Taiwan relationship?
01:12 The inauguration of the Hindu temple resonates against the backdrop of deepening diplomatic
01:16 engagements between India and Taiwan.
01:19 Taiwan's announcement of establishing the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Mumbai
01:23 adds a new dimension to their relationship.
01:26 The center aims to be a nucleus for fostering exchanges, collaborations and understanding
01:30 between the nations.
01:31 The timing of this initiative is noteworthy, aligning seamlessly with the inauguration
01:36 of the Hindu temple.
01:37 As the temple doors open, it signifies not only a spiritual milestone but also resonates
01:42 with the burgeoning economic collaboration between Taiwan and India.
01:46 With bilateral trade flourishing and investments amounting to US$1.5 billion across various
01:51 sectors, including technology, medical devices and automobile components, the relationship
01:56 is poised to soar to new heights.
01:58 This economic synergy is anticipated to propel the relationship to unprecedented heights,
02:02 creating a harmonious blend of cultural exchange and economic partnership.
02:07 Looking ahead, a Migration and Mobility Pact, expected to be signed in October, is poised
02:11 to further enhance people-to-people engagement and facilitate smoother migration from India
02:16 to Taiwan.
02:17 This agreement not only streamlines the migration process but also serves as a testament to
02:22 the nations' commitment to deepening their connection and enriching their societies through
02:25 the exchange of skills, ideas and experiences.
02:28 While Sabka Mandir is being built as Taiwan's first temple where the Indian community can
02:33 gather, the place already had an Iskcon temple and a Lord Ganesha temple, seen as much more
02:39 popular among Thais.
