Ambassador of India Visits Xavier University School of Medicine – June 25–26, 2025
Dr. Sumit Seth, Ambassador of India to the Republic of Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua, paid a two-day visit to Xavier University School of Medicine (XUSOM) in Oranjestad, Aruba, on June 25 and 26, 2025. The Ambassador was warmly welcomed by Dr. Arun K. Dubey, Chief Academic Officer of XUSOM, along with faculty members, Mr. Prakash Gupta, Honorary Secretary of the Indian Community in Aruba, and several other distinguished members of the local Indian diaspora.
During his visit, Dr. Seth engaged in thoughtful dialogue with university leadership and community representatives, highlighting the potential to strengthen Indo-Aruban relations through the "5 Ts" — Talent, Tradition, Trade, Tourism, and Technology. He described India not just as a destination but as a vibrant, evolving experience—comparing it to a feature film, with each frame offering something new and meaningful.
In a special segment of the visit, Dr. Seth recognized and felicitated outstanding Indian community members in Aruba, particularly those with achievements in sports. He also introduced scholarship opportunities offered by the Government of India to international students, encouraging exploration of India`s academic and cultural landscape for mutual growth and development.
A medical doctor by training, Ambassador Seth showed keen interest in the academic mission of XUSOM. He visited the university’s upcoming new campus and participated in an interactive session with students. He expressed strong support for expanding the school’s academic and clinical footprint, promoting medical tourism, and fostering partnerships between Indian medical educators and institutions in Aruba.
There’s a lot to love about Xavier. 💙 From our tight-knit class sizes and supportive professors to a strong curriculum and full accreditation, this is more than just a medical school. Xavier is a community that sets you up for success.
