India has made a distinctive cultural diplomacy move by sending five young peacocks to the United Nations Office at Geneva. The gift highlights India’s rich cultural heritage and places its national bird, the peacock, at the forefront of international relations. The peacocks, four blue and one rare white, symbolize the UN’s colors.
Ambassador Arindam Bagchi, India’s envoy to Geneva, presented the birds to UN Geneva’s Director-General, Tatiana Valovaya. This gesture, initiated forty-five years ago when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sent a breeding pair from Delhi Zoo using her own plane, aims to strengthen people-to-people connections and showcase India’s cultural identity to the world.
