As part of its endeavour to unify different tribes of Mizo, the Mizoram government will organise Zo Festival under the banner Zo Kutpui in at least 10 different cities across the globe starting from January 9, an official of the Mizoram Tourism department said on Monday.
The official said that the first festival would be held at Vanghmun, a hub town of Mizos in neighbouring Tripura from January 9 to 11.
Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga would grace the event as chief guest while Mizoram Tourism minister Robert Romawia Royte and local administration minister K. Lalrinliana would be the chief host and special guest of the festival respectively.
The event will see the presence of many important dignitaries from various Mizoram tribes and also witness cultural programmes and traditional songs from various Mizo tribes from Mizoram and other northeastern states, the official said.
He also said that the Zo Kutpui will also be organised in Maryland in USA, Tahan in Myanmar, Churachandpur in Manipur and Bangladesh.
The event aims at re-unifying and strengthening brotherhood among different tribes of Mizo, he reiterated.
It can be noted here that the Mizo National Front (MNF) led government, which works for unification of Mizo communities, has been making massive efforts in this regard.
