Countries must share their experience, expertise, knowledge, and resources to identify the most effective pathways for development rather than depending on financial or technological assistance from developed nations. In essence: “Unite for development or perish.”
Dr. Sandeep Marwah of Marwah Studios strongly emphasised that Art, Culture, and Media can play a pivotal role in bringing APC countries together on a common platform to advance the mission of sustainable development.
Wing Commander (Dr.) Praful Bakshi highlighted that sustainable development can be achieved only when peace and security are firmly ensured across the region. The International Conference is scheduled for 21 February 2026 at the India International Centre.
