Mumbai: The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA), under the leadership of President Er. Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, has officially acknowledged and welcomed the proposal received from the Armenia-India Business Council (AIBC) for enhanced cultural and cinematic collaboration between India and Armenia.
In a formal letter, AIBC extended heartfelt solidarity with India in the aftermath of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, expressing condolences for the loss of innocent lives and reaffirming their commitment to Indo-Indian friendship and global peace.
In response, AICWA expressed deep gratitude and shared its vision of using cinema as a tool for international cultural diplomacy and unity. The letter also highlighted Armenia’s growing interest in becoming a preferred film destination for Indian productions, citing its:
•Stable and secure environment
•Breathtaking natural landscapes
•Professional film infrastructure
•35% cash rebate for foreign film projects
AICWA affirmed its intent to present this proposal to the following dignitaries and stakeholders:
✅ Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi
✅ Hon’ble Minister of Information & Broadcasting, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw
✅ Hon’ble Minister of Culture, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat
✅ Leading film producers, OTT platforms, channels, music labels & film studios across India
“In a world where politics often divides, cinema has the power to unite. AICWA believes that Indo-Armenian collaboration in storytelling, filmmaking, and cultural events can build a bridge of peace, respect, and mutual growth,” said Er. Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, President of AICWA.
The association welcomed Armenia’s respectful approach, non-political hospitality, and genuine interest in hosting Indian cinema, calling it a sign of deepening people-to-people ties.
This initiative marks a significant step in India’s expanding global soft power, as AICWA continues to promote not only the welfare of Indian cine workers but also India’s cultural presence on the world stage.
