Manmohan Singh sees lead role for N-E, Indebted to Assam: PM
The Telegraph | Umanand Jaiswal | Guwahati, April 20:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said Assam and the rest of the Northeast should play a leading role in the country’s efforts to look east.
The Northeast is central to the Centre’s Look East Policy, which aims to build closer economic ties with its eastern neighbours. But developing such relations is not a “one-shot” thing, he later said during an informal interaction with a select group of journalists at the airport this evening.
Driving home the advantages of sustained engagement with neighbouring countries, Singh said, “Next month, I am scheduled to visit Myanmar. I will discuss with the leadership of Myanmar how we can increase opportunities for expansion of trade, economic cooperation and connectivity to the larger ASEAN region. Assam and the other states of the Northeast can and should play leading roles in our efforts to look eastwards.”
