A delegation led by Director-General, Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) Ambassador Nalin Surie is in China to participate in the 2nd India-China Think-Tanks Forum (22-27 June 2017), organized by the ICWA and Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). The delegation consists of distinguished Indian scholars and experts on regional, economic, and strategic issues from 11 institutions in India.
