China Government will promote Haryana among its provinces, cities and companies as an ideal investment destination for education, healthcare, science and technology sectors. This was stated by Song Tao, Minister for International Department, China during a dinner banquet hosted by him for the delegation led by Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal in Beijing on Thursday, a press statement issued here said.
Tao said that he was very pleased to host Manohar lal not only because he was the first Indian Chief Minister to visit China after he took over as Chief Minister last November, but also because there were so many complementary ties between economies of Haryana and many Chinese Provinces.
During the meeting, Manohar lal said that the two countries have had strong relations since centuries ago. He said that given our 3,400 kms long border, it was more important to be good neighbours rather than being just neighbours. The Chief Minister said that he was looking forward to attracting a large number of Chinese companies despite curtailing his visit due to the visit of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the state capital on January 24 and then again to Gurgaon on January 25.
Song Tao accepted the invitation of Chief Minister, Haryana to be his guest during his next visit to India. He also promised to enhance Chinese efforts for cultural exchanges and people to people interactions with Haryana.
Manohar lal had reached China on Thursday as a part of the three-day visit after projecting Haryana as a “land of opportunities and enterprise” in Japan.
