INDIA IS a reservoir of knowledge and expertise, according to Surinam envoy in India Krishna Dutta Baijnath. He made this observation while addressing a felicitation function organised by Mother India Club and Indo-Global Chamber of Commerce, in his honor here today.
The Surinam envoy exhorted the people of India to visit his country for exploring business opportunities and also stressed the need for enhancing cultural relations between the two countries.
“India is a reservoir of knowledge and expertise”, he said and added, he had been telling the people of his country about this.
“Of course I am an Indian. We are looking for Honorary Council”, he said. “Honorary council could be appointed within the frame work of Indian legislation.”
An overwhelmed Surinam ambassador said people of Surinam wanted to ensure interaction with the Indian people.
