SEAF was thus formed, and brought together, for the first time, leading Indian economists and policymakers to present the agenda for India’s economic reforms Through Seminars like BRICS , India-Tibet Summit & others
On 20th May 2017, the South & East Asia Foundation successfully hosted the First Indo –Tibet Summit in the capital of India - New Delhi. The Summit aims to remind the world about the beautiful Land of Tibet, its people, rich culture and traditions. It also plans to bring into light the plight of the Tibetans who suffered under the Chinese rule for decades and more than six decades in exile now. The country with its people, religion and culture is trying to stand strong against all odds to fight for their Freedom both in Tibet and in Exile. Thus, we as a World citizen should speak up for the Human Rights violations in Tibet and support the Tibetans demand for Justice and Peace in Tibet. For the humanity sake, we cannot turn a blind eye to this burning issues and problems. With the background, the summit was organized to identify each other’s plights and strengthening the bond between India and Tibet.
