Cabinet approves signing of Tripartite Agreement among India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) on the IBSA Fund for the Alleviation of Poverty and Hunger

The IBSA Dialogue Forum launched in June 2003, conceived as a forum for cooperation among three vibrant democracies of the South ( India , Brazil and South Africa ) that are recognized as having global relevance and impact. All three are developing nations with pluralistic, multicultural, multi-ethnic, multilingual and multi-religious societies. At thus backdrop, the Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved the signing of the Tripartite Agreement among India , Brazil and South Africa (IBSA), on the IBSA Fund for the Alleviation of Poverty and Hunger. The decision will help in strengthening the IBSA Fund which is a unique vehicle in the context of South South cooperation. The IBSA countries contribute US$1 million each annually to the Fund, which till January 2015 has accumulated to US$28.2 million, with total implemented/approved projects commitment of US$26.2 million, and remaining US$2.09 million available for programming. India on its part has contributed US$9.1 million so far to the Fund. The IBSA Fund undertakes development projects in third countries. The first project to be financed by the IBSA Fund was in support of agriculture and livestock development. The IBSA Fund was conferred the South South Partnership Award at the 2006 UN Day event held in New York in December 2006. This indicates the importance and recognition of the IBSA Fund in the context of South South developmental cooperation. The IBSA Fund for the Alleviation of Poverty and Hunger was set up in 2004 as one of the three pillars of cooperation under the IBSA Dialogue Forum. The other two pillars are consultation and coordination on global political issues and trilateral collaboration in concrete areas and projects.

The Embassy of Spain in India andInstituto Cervantesin New Delhi, have the pleasure to invite you to the talk-concert on      “Músic at the time of Velázquez and Calderón” by Albert Recasens and the ensemble of early music       “La Grande Chapelle”, on Wednesday 25th November at 7:30 pm at Instituto Cervantes in New Delhi (48, Hanuman Road. Connaught Place). Talk with simultaneous English translation. Music excerpts by La Grande Chapelle Sobre el programa: Aunque hoy día se le recuerda casi exclusivamente como el creador, en colaboración con Calderón de la Barca, de la zarzuela y la ópera española, la producción vocal de cámara de Juan Hidalgo (1614-1685) -principalmente de tonos “humanos” y tonos “divinos”- tuvo, en su época, un éxito innegable, tal y como atestiguan las numerosas copias manuscritas que circularon en España y América. Su desempeño en la corte madrileña como arpista de la Real Capilla y maestro de la Real Cámara al servicio de Felipe IV y Carlos II le situó en una posición privilegiada dentro del panorama artístico de su tiempo. Menos conocido es su repertorio religioso, compuesto principalmente para determinadas prácticas devocionales palaciegas como las “Cuarenta Horas”, probablemente desaparecido en el incendio que asoló el Real Alcázar en 1734. No obstante, ha sido posible restituir una parte de la obra sacra a partir de las copias que se han localizado, sumamente dispersas, en diferentes bibliotecas y archivos. En este novedoso monográfico, La Grande Chapelle ha reunido un variado ramillete de tonos y villancicos que, a la par de deleitarnos, colma una importante laguna en el conocimiento del Barroco español. La Grande Chapelle ofrecerá además un concierto dentro de The Sacred Festival, el martes 24 de noviembre a las 8:00 pmen Ajmer Fort. (+) About the program: Although he is almost exclusively remembered as the creator – in collaboration with Calderón de la Barca – of zarzuela and Spanish opera, the vocal chamber music of Juan Hidalgo (1614-1685 ) – principally secular and sacred tonos [airs] – enjoyed undeniable success, as the the numerous copies that circulated in Spain and the Americas bear witness. His work as harpist at the Royal Chapel and chapel master of the Royal Chamber in the service of Philip IV and Charles II gave him a privileged position in the artistic world of his day. Less well-known is his religious repertoire, mainly composed for specific devotional practices in the palace, such as the “Forty Hours”, which likely perished in the blaze that destroyed the Real Alcázar in 1734. Nevertheless it has been possible to restore a part of this sacred work using copies that have been found, widely dispersed, in different archives and libraries. In this monographic programme, La Grande Chapelle has selected a varied group of tonos and villancicos that will delight us all while also filling important gaps in our knowledge of the Spanish baroque. La Grande Chapell will also play a concert at The Sacred Festival, on Tuesday 24th November at 8:00pm at Ajmer Fort. (+) AGENDA 22/11/2015 Auditorio, a las 4:30 p.m.Ciclo de cine boliviano: “Zona Sur” de Juan Carlos Valdivia Sinopsis: Zona Sur es una película dirigida por el cineasta boliviano Juan Carlos Valdivia en 2009.
