Shillong, April 4: A business delegation from Kenya has extended an invitation to Meghalaya urban affairs minister Paul Lyngdoh to initiate exchange programmes between the northeastern state and the east African country.
Lyngdoh also interacted with officials from Thailand during his visit to the International Shillong Trade Fair on Tuesday. The director of Mobrama Investments of Kenya, Isabella Amaiza Mungasia, praised Meghalaya’s tourism potential.
“India and Kenya can help each other promote their tourism potential. In the beginning, we can initiate exchange programmes to learn from each others’ experience.”
The commercial counsellor of the Thai embassy in India, Tharadol Thongruang, and the senior trade officer of the Thai government’s department of export promotion, Kanjana Pongpanich, requested Lyngdoh to immediately lead a delegation from the Northeast to Thailand to study issues of mutual interest.
“Thailand and Northeast India are rich in handicraft products. I strongly believe that frequent interaction will benefit the two countries,” Tharadol said.
The Thai officials congratulated Lyngdoh for including the International Shillong Trade Fair in the annual trade fair calendar of the Thai government.
More than 19 companies from Thailand, under the department of export promotion (DEP), ministry of commerce, have participated in the fair.
One of the participating companies in the Thai Pavilion, Flower International of Sampran district of Thailand, has tied up with Guwahati-based Cane Craft and Allied Industries to import cane bases for Thai flowers.
