President Droupadi Murmu Invites Slovak Companies to \u2018Make in India\u2019 at Slovakia-India Business Forum; Receives Honoris Causa from Constantine the Philosopher University.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bratislava\/Nitra:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the second day of her official visit to Slovakia, President of India, Droupadi Murmu addressed the Slovakia-India Business Forum in Bratislava, highlighting the need to diversify trade, deepen economic ties, and explore new partnerships in technology, manufacturing, and innovation. She also received an Honoris Causa Doctorate<\/strong> from Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, marking a significant diplomatic and cultural milestone in India-Slovakia relations.<\/p>\n

Strengthening Economic Partnerships: Slovakia-India Business Forum<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking at the high-profile Slovakia-India Business Forum, President Murmu underlined the enduring friendship between India and Slovakia, and called for renewed economic collaboration between the two countries. \u201cIndia is undergoing a remarkable transformation, emerging as a global leader in innovation, digital technology, and sustainable development,\u201d she said, pointing to India\u2019s trajectory toward becoming a $5 trillion economy.<\/p>\n

She emphasized the synergy between India\u2019s fast-growing economy and Slovakia\u2019s industrial prowess. \u201cSlovakia\u2019s strategic location in Europe and strength in sectors like automotive, defence and high-tech industries align well with India\u2019s consumer market, skilled workforce and vibrant startup ecosystem,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n

She invited Slovak businesses to be a part of India\u2019s flagship \u2018Make in India<\/strong>\u2019 initiative and urged business leaders to leverage the platform of the Business Forum to forge long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships.<\/p>\n

Honour at Constantine the Philosopher University<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a prestigious academic ceremony at Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, President Murmu was conferred the Honoris Causa Doctorate<\/strong> for her contributions to public service, advocacy for education, women\u2019s empowerment, and promotion of cultural and linguistic diversity.<\/p>\n

In her acceptance speech, the President dedicated the honour to the people of India and its ancient civilizational legacy. \u201cReceiving this degree from an institution named after Saint Constantine Cyril is especially meaningful,\u201d she remarked, drawing parallels between Indian philosophical traditions and Slavic cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia\u2019s development is rooted not only in modern innovation but in its ancient wisdom,\u201d she said, referencing the influence of the Upanishads<\/strong>, and praising the university\u2019s emphasis on cultural identity and knowledge.<\/p>\n

Cultural Engagements and People-to-People Diplomacy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Earlier in the day, President Murmu visited an exhibition of paintings by Slovak children depicting Indian themes, organized by the Slovak-Indian Friendship Society. She also witnessed a puppet show based on the Ramayana<\/strong>, performed by Slovak puppeteer \u00a0Lenka Mukova<\/strong>, known for her decades-long work in children\u2019s education through the Babadlo Puppet Theater<\/strong> in Presov.<\/p>\n

Later, she toured the Jaguar Land Rover Factory<\/strong> in Bratislava along with Slovak President Peter Pellegrini, observing the advanced manufacturing processes at the iconic plant.<\/p>\n

Banquet at Bratislava Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the evening of April 9, the President attended a banquet hosted in her honour by President Pellegrini at the historic Bratislava Castle<\/strong>. The event featured a special cultural performance, including renditions of the national anthems of both nations, showcasing the cultural affinity shared between India and Slovakia.<\/p>\n

President Murmu expressed gratitude for the hospitality extended to her and praised the warmth of the Slovak people. She noted Slovakia\u2019s growing interest in Indian traditions such as yoga<\/strong>, ayurveda<\/strong>, and cuisine<\/strong>, highlighting the strength of people-to-people ties.<\/p>\n

A Visit of Diplomatic and Cultural Significance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

President Murmu\u2019s visit to Slovakia underscores India\u2019s commitment to strengthening its partnership with Central European nations. From promoting trade and investment to reinforcing educational and cultural bonds, the visit marks a new chapter in Indo-Slovak ties built on mutual respect, shared values, and a commitment to inclusive progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
