Priyanka Chopra has been invited to be part of the Oscar Academy's 'Class of 2017', says "a progress" towards embracing diversity has been made by the Academy of Motion Picture of Arts & Sciences, but she'd like to see more foreign representation at the ceremony.

"It's interesting that though (past) winners were Indian, it was for their work in international films -- largely about India, but not made by India," Priyanka also said.

She added, "For a global community like India to be represented on a larger scale, I think it will have to move beyond a single award for all foreign language films. "It is very rare to see foreign language films represented in the other categories. The class of 2017 does have a very diverse collection, including a few from my country, and one hopes that we all work together to push the larger picture."

"I'd like to see more opportunities for foreign films to be represented at the Oscars. If the Oscars are trying to diversify and touch the globe, which the Academy seems to be doing with this new class, I hope to help change the way foreign language films are received and considered," Priyanka said at last.
