Georgetown hosted a major diplomatic meeting between Indian officials and Caribbean Community representatives at the Pegasus Corporate Centre. The Indian High Commission organized this scientific cooperation summit with the CARICOM Secretariat. Ambassador Amit Telang opened discussions by emphasizing stronger partnerships between India and Caribbean nations. Wendell Samuel from CARICOM's Economic Integration division led the proceedings. Representatives from multiple member states participated in the strategic talks.
Space technology applications dominated the technical presentations during the conference. ISRO scientist Srinivasa Rao Goru demonstrated remote sensing capabilities for agriculture and disaster management. The Council for Scientific & Industrial Research showcased laboratory networks and climate adaptation expertise. Officials offered capacity-building programs for Caribbean partners. These initiatives follow commitments made during Prime Minister Modi's November 2024 visit to Guyana.
The summit advances agreements from the second India-CARICOM meeting held last year. Modi previously promised technological assistance and innovation partnerships with regional governments. ISRO delegates had recently attended the Global Biodiversity Alliance Summit from July 23 through 25. Both events strengthen scientific collaboration between India and Caribbean nations.
