"India- Brazil Youth Forum, an initiative under Global Youth is a bilateral Youth Forum which provides a platform for the youth of both the nations to discuss and deliberate upon the foreign policy by facilitating cross-cultural exchanges and student-to-student dialogues. It provides a platform for the students to engage with professionals from across the world in various fields ranging from International Relations, Public Policy, Diplomacy and journalism.
Two of the most monumental countries in the world, both in terms of land as well as human capital, Brazil and India are very similar, yet poles apart. The forum aims to nurture People to People connect among people of both the nationalities and has a huge international member base. It envisions exchanges pertaining to the cultural aspect as well as economic and political developments. It also works on exploring the possibilities of enhanced cooperation between the two countries by working very closely with the Embassy of Brazil in New Delhi and the Consulate General of India in Brazil.
The forum organized a Chat with Mr Gustavo Westmann, Head of the Trade and Investment office at the Embassy of Brazil in India last year in Hansraj College. During President Bolsonaro's India visit as the Guest for Republic Day, the forum was invited to attend the India Brazil business forum presided by President Bolsonaro, held in the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel which gave the members a chance to interact with Union Minister Piyush Goyal who went on to appreciate their efforts and work.
