Ms. Meenakshi Sharma, Director General, Ministry of Tourism, Mr. Divay Pranav, Vice President, Invest India, and Mr. Irfan Alam, Member Secretary, India China Economic and Cultural Council among others also spoke at the event.

The aim was to promote an effective discussion focused on improving India-China relations by encouraging cultural exchange and tourism. The development of a peace meditation resort in Bodhgaya was also an important topic covered at the gathering. 

The resort will help boost tourism in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, as well as function as a getaway for people looking to attain peace through meditation. It will also serve as a bridge between Indian and Chinese culture. Body Gaya Peace Resort will be the world's first zen luxury vacation destination.  

The world is fractured by war, economic inequalities and spreading mistrust. But it's also more interdependent than ever.  

We are committed to the idea that humanity shares a single destiny, and that the crises we face around the world can only be resolved through international cooperation.

Our goal is to create forums for global dialogue, to facilitate cultural exchange that strengthens trust, and to reassert the values of humanism, pluralism, and peace around the world.
