This article takes as a reference educational and cultural relations between Spain and India, based on two official Spanish projects, the MAEC-AECID Assistantships Programme to teach Spanish in Foreign Universities and Instituto Cervantes. The objective is to analyse the current situation and study possibilities for maximising bilateral cooperation in education and culture between Spain and India, a country of over 1.3 billion people, with a developing population and economy, and a growing middle-class and young population. We believe that this drive to develop a joint and coordinated action, which should also involve Indian institutions, will enable sharing experiences and knowledge, and will support institutional commitment to education for sustainable development through official foreign language teaching and cultural dissemination projects in emerging countries.
