GOPIO Founder and President Thomas Abraham said that GOPIO has come a long way in terms of sensitizing the governments on issues concerning the Indian Diaspora. He says that the Indian Diaspora has moved outside the political mainstream to political leadership. He also hopes the trend to continue. The main objective of this convention is to mobilize both financial and professional resources to help the Indian Diaspora and the countries they come from.
GOPIO Chairman said: “During the last few years, GOPIO has made rapid strides as there have been several new chapters and more awareness of GOPIO’s advocacy role for issues of the Indian Diaspora,” said Inder Singh, Chairman of GOPIO International. “We need to start more chapters which will further lead to more networking of the International Indian Diaspora,” continued Singh.
