Building a cultural house for Chang Trong hamlet in Hop Phong commune, the project contributes to raising residents’ living standards, he said and expressed his wish for the diplomat to serve as a bridge between Hoa Binh and Indian investors.
The ambassador said he wants to build plans to forge cooperation between the province and India’s public agencies and organisations in the fields of culture, tourism, economy, trade, education, and training.
The same day, Arya and provincial leaders attended a ceremony inaugurating the cultural house./.
