Opening new avenues for Spain-India cooperation through the Madrid City Council

Sectors such as tourism are very interesting for both countries. VII edition activity summary

The Indian Leaders were received by Ricardo Iglesias, Head of External Relations, and Juan Carlos de Castro Pita, Deputy Director General of Internationalization in the Plenary Hall of the Madrid City Council. The participants were able to learn first-hand about the functioning of the Hall, the mayor's powers, and accountability to the public, among other issues. Moreover, Lochan Sehra and Raja Gopal Sunkara, Municipal Commissioners of Ahmedabad and Coimbatore respectively, shared their experiences on the functioning of their Municipal Corporations with the representatives of the Madrid City Council. 

A topic of great interest to the Indian Leaders was the external relations of the Madrid City Council. Although the City Council has not yet signed Memoranda of Understanding with India, they were open to deepening relations with the same, and encouraged a new phase of municipal rapprochement between Spain and India, in which there could be great opportunities for cooperation, such as in the tourism sector. The Indian Municipal Commissioners expressed their interest in exploring new avenues of collaboration for deepening city-to-city cooperation between Madrid and India.
