Kohima | November 29 : Consul General of France Jean-Louis Rysto today said Nagaland has a rich culture which indeed is a huge asset for the Naga people. Consul General Jean-Louis Rysto and Press Attaché to Consulate General of France Anjita Roychaudhury are on official visit in Kohima. They are here to collect reports, exploring the North Eastern states and anticipating a trade relation that can build better relation and maintain rapport with the Government of France.
Young Indians of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India’s premier business association, organized an interactive session with students’ organizations, non-governmental organizations and others at The Heritage this evening.
Although the visit to Nagaland is their first, the Consul General of France and the Press Attaché, are not new to India’s North Eastern states and aware of the potential the state possesses. Jean-Louis Rysto said the north eastern states are rich in mineral oils, hydro electricity and agriculture.
After watching folk performances from a group, the Tetse-o Sisters, the Consul General urged all not to ‘lose their culture’ but rather build relation through cultural exchange. He maintained that the promotion of a State should come in the form of an effort and the media should be more aggressive pushing forward. Press Attaché Anjita said the Naga people have a ‘bigger scope’, taking advantage of their knowledge and strength in English to bridge the gap with the world.
During the interactive session, the Consul General said tourism is a two-way entry where risk has to be taken care of and urged the State to attract ‘with what we have and to make it special what is in the state.’ Tour operators can play a vital role as each state has its own beauty that has to be presented regionally, he said. There is a need to capitalize on the huge interest people have in Nagaland and her people and to bring up the capabilities of the state’s potential, Rysto said.
The duo is also scheduled to meet the Governor of Nagaland and the Chief Secretary of Nagaland tomorrow from where they will travel to Manipur and Mizoram.
It may be mentioned that Young Indians (Yi) was formed in the year 2002, with an objective of creating a platform for young Indians to realize the dream of a developed nation. Yi has over 1288 direct members in 25 city chapters. Yi has 160 members in 3 corporate chapters and engages another 12,000 members through its district chapter, Farmer Nets and Student Nets.
