"It is a long awaited plan of the Government of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to create an association with its Indian counterpart to develop relations through films, arts, culture and media.

Augusto Montiel, Ambassador of Venezuela to India, addressing a large gathering of national and international film, television, media professionals and people from the art and culture fraternity.

All are invited to be a part of these two centres at Noida and Delhi. We have grown much bigger in one day," said the Ambassador, appreciating the large network of 162 countries of ICMEI.

The renowned film, television and media personality and five time World Record holder Sandeep Marwah, President of Marwah Studios, was honored by the Ambassador and also nominated as the Chairperson of Indo-Venezuela Film Association. 

"It is important to bring the relationship between the two countries close to each other and films, art and culture is the best way to start with. At Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela we are proud at our choice of Sandeep Marwah. He is a well experienced media professional and he understands very well the cultural diplomacy," added the Ambassador. 

"I am honored and now committed to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
