00:05How was the interaction?

00:07The interaction was actually great.

00:09I have learned a lot.

00:10I think the minister actually welcomed us into his world and all of India in general.

00:16The stories we've heard and his hope for the future of India and the world,

00:20it's truly life-changing.

00:22The lessons I'm bringing home in the Philippines out of this interaction,

00:26I think I'm going home as a changed person

00:29because it really reshaped the way I see the world and my place in it.

00:36It is my first time in India.

00:38The experience of India itself, it's a beautiful chaos.

01:05How was the interaction?

01:07He was very generous with his time.

01:08We were very appreciative to be able to participate today.

01:11He had a lot of things to say on the state of India

01:15and its relationship to the world as well as regionally.

01:19He was all around very generous

01:21and had a very positive outlook on India's position in the world.

01:25Is this your first time to India?

01:27Yes, this is my first time.

01:28How was the India experience?

01:29I love it. It's been incredible.

01:31I read about India so often on the news and it's developing,

01:34but I didn't know so many specifics.

01:37There's been such a wonderful cultural interaction here in India

01:41and we've learned so much and we've met with so many wonderful people.

01:44The hospitality we've experienced has been like nothing I've ever experienced.

01:47I have such a positive impression of India.

01:49It's been the trip of a lifetime to be here.

01:52Thank you so much.

01:55We'll try our best.

02:38How has been the experience of participating in the Diaspora of India?

02:47It's been excellent.

02:48I feel very fortunate that the dates aligned since this is my first visit

02:52to be able to also see the diaspora come together and the celebration behind it.

02:57I've always wanted to come visit.

02:59I think it's one of our prominent global powers

03:02and I think there's a lot of exciting innovation coming out of India.

03:06We were able to meet with some computer engineering students yesterday.

03:09We saw excellent work.

03:11There's clearly a lot of passion and promise coming out of the country.

03:14So definitely want to keep close ties with the country.

03:26Yes, my name is Kailash.

03:27I'm from Nepal.

03:32and I'm studying MBA at MIT.

03:35Great, so you had an interaction with the organization.

03:37Yes.

03:38What did you all talk about?

03:40Yeah, it was really, I think, interesting

03:43and we've learned a lot about India's sort of focus on neighborhood first policies,

03:48strategic autonomy, right?

03:51Where India has an idea of what they want to do

03:54and how other people want to support them, right?

03:56So it was great.

03:58I had the chance to ask the question in the context of

04:01how that plays into the way they see neighboring nations, right?

04:04As India tries to get global as an economy.

04:07And he seemed to really feel like, you know,

04:11strongly about the importance of continuing the relations with neighboring nations

04:15and talked about sort of supporting energy security

04:20or sort of a disaster response.

04:22And I feel that's something, I think this is really where like neighboring nations,

04:27like Nepal, for example,

04:28my country can really take advantage of the fact that

04:32India is making investments into going forward

04:34and how can we really work together to strengthen the bilateral relationships.

04:40Is this your first time to India?

04:42No, it's not my first time to India,

04:44but it's my first time seeing India from this perspective,

04:48being able to have a chance to talk to union ministers

04:52and listen to what they have to say, their perspectives.

04:55We've had a chance to meet ministers, like founders of companies.
