FIDE joined hands together with FCCI to celebrate the 40 years of FCCI’s relentless work of serving the motherland by organizing the 10th International Indian Diaspora Conference 2022 on Sept 4, 2022, at Kasteel de Wittenburg, Wassenaar.
The 3rd book published by FCCI commemorates these 40 years of work launched in the event. The book is named “40 years of FCCI Linking Diaspora with India”
Ambassador of India to the Kingdom of the Netherlands H.E. Mrs. Reenat Sandhu participated in the Book Launch ceremony at the 10th International Indian Diaspora Conference.
She addressed the Indian diaspora alongside Baroness Sandip Verma from the UK, Rabin Baldewsingh from the Netherlands, Mr. Kiran Malhotra, Prof. Dr. Ruben Gowricharn, Mr. Jaskaran Sandhu, Ms. Prachee van Brandenburg Party Leader, and other esteemed guests.
The Conference dealt with the following two themes:
- Linking Diaspora with India: the Year 2022 is a special year for the FCCI and India. Linking Diaspora with India is an apt theme on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of India’s Independence as well as the 75th Anniversary of Indo-Dutch cooperation, and completing the 40th Year of FCCI serving motherland India with the release of the book.
- Indian Diaspora on the Move: This theme was more focused on the youth and the future of the Indian Diaspora in Europe. Special focus was given to the sub-theme of increasing political participation in host countries.
The program was highly interactive and included speakers and panelists from different countries in Europe, together with a variety of cultural performances.
