The awards were presented by Dr. Sandeep Marwah, Founder of Noida Film City, Marwah Studios, and AAFT University, and an eleven-times World Record holder, widely recognized as one of the strongest global ambassadors of Indian cinema himself. The honours acknowledged the ambassadors’ unwavering support in promoting Hindi cinema within their nations and for their visionary role in establishing and actively promoting the Indo-Latvia Film and Cultural Forum, Indo-Uruguay Film and Cultural Forum, and Indo-Timor-Leste Film and Cultural Forum, respectively—platforms that have significantly strengthened bilateral cultural and cinematic ties.
