Club Meeting - H.E. Ambassador Raveesh Kumar

Dear Rotarians and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to a very special evening with H.E. Mr Raveesh Kumar, Ambassador of India to the Czech Republic, who will join us as our distinguished guest speaker. 

Ambassador Kumar's topic of address this evening will be "The India Moment and what it means for the rest of the world".  He will also speak to us about the evolving relationship between India and the Czech Republic, at a particularly interesting moment in the relations between the two countries.

India and Czech Republic share long-standing historical ties, but in recent years their relationship has acquired renewed momentum, especially under the stewardship of Ambassador Raveesh Kumar. The establishment of the India - Czechia Strategic Partnership on Innovation has opened new avenues for cooperation in areas including science and technology, trade and investment, defence and security, energy, healthcare, education and research.

With India playing an increasingly significant role in the global economy and international affairs, this will be a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from Ambassador Kumar about the opportunities, challenges and future prospects of this growing partnership.

A career diplomat with extensive international experience, Ambassador Kumar joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1995. During his distinguished career, he has served in several diplomatic postings and was Spokesperson of India’s Ministry of External Affairs. Prior to his appointment to Prague in 2024, he served as Ambassador of India to Finland.

Please join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening and a valuable opportunity for dialogue with one of Prague’s leading diplomatic representatives.
