A delegate, Oluseun Ishola, who has come from Nigeria, told ANI, "It's a great opportunity for us to come here and learn a lot from experiences of India. We learnt a lot from the speeches that we have heard this morning (On Monday). We have learnt a lot from India. I think we have a lot of prospects and we have a lot of things that we can do together."
Talking about the mantra he said, "I think we have to move a way to the model that we all are a family. We have to begin and to embrace as one. Like the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said the earth is for everybody, so we need to move a way from this classification. We know that there is lot of distinction and we have to give up that this is mine this is mine. I have learnt this morning to see everybody as a one, same member of the same family."
Throwing lights on his experience in Madhya Pradesh, he said, "I am so excited to be here, I have been here in India in 2020 for the first time and three years later I am here again. It's such a great opportunity. The hospitality has been great here."

A delegate from Srilanka, Tanuja said, "I am really glad to be part of this event. It will be a very new experience for us. India has been a big brother of Sri Lanka that they will be a voice of south cooperation so we can learn a lot."
