High Commissioner of India to Jamaica, H.E. @mayajoshi, accompanied by Hon. Errol Johnson, Custos Rotulorum of St. Mary Parish, visited the beautiful parish of St. Mary as part of the Mission’s continued people-to-people outreach and community engagement across Jamaica. 🇮🇳🇯🇲
The global diffusion of mathematics is a story of interconnectedness. But every supply chain of ideas has a starting point, often India.
The global narrative of scientific progress has, for far too long, been viewed through a narrow lens, limited in time and geography. As geopolitical churn ushers in a political and economic rebalancing, it is inevitably paving the way for a cultural rebalancing too.
Inaugurated the ‘Shunya to Ananta’ exhibition at the @UN headquarters, that is a reminder that mathematics is a universal language and its spread served a global good. The United Nations, as the most established platform for international cooperation, can draw on that message in its quest to advocate the gains of shared collaboration.
