LAC FIRST—A NEW CONTINENTAL CONVERSATION

WHEN DISTANCE LOSES MEANING

At the inaugural LAC FIRST in New Delhi, diplomats, trade leaders and businesses confronted one of the most persistent assumptions in India’s external economic imagination: that Latin America and the Caribbean are simply too far away. What emerged was a sharper proposition, built around strategic resources, resilient supply chains, technology, gateways, connectivity and the stubborn geography of the mind.

INTERVIEW WITH AMBASSADOR OF URUGUAY

“Distance Isn’t An Obstacle”

For more than two decades, India Empire has documented India’s engagement with the diplomatic community through exclusive conversations with ambassadors and high commissioners from around the world. Continuing that editorial tradition in its 21st year and 262nd monthly edition, Editor-in-Chief Sayantan Chakravarty is in conversation with H.E. Alberto Antonio Guani Amarilla, Ambassador of Uruguay to India and the outgoing Coordinator of GRULAC (Group of Latin American and Caribbean Countries). Recorded at the Embassy of Uruguay in New Delhi in the days leading up to LAC FIRST: India-Latin America & Caribbean Business & Diplomatic Conference, which has since established itself as a significant platform for India-Latin America cooperation, this conversation explores Uruguay’s investment climate, MERCOSUR, connectivity, culture and the expanding partnership between India and Latin America.
