Imphal, May 24 2013 :
Chief Minister O Ibobi has extended warm greetings and best wishes to the European Manipuri Association (EMA) in connection with the association's annual convention cum social gathering from May 25-26 at Worcester, near Birmingham, UK.
"Despite the limitation and tininess of our State, we are proud that the presence of Manipuri diasporas are ever widening across the globe," the CM noted in his message.
On the invitation extended to his son, Surjakumar Okram for the event, the CM, in a separate note to the Chairperson of EMA, regretted his son's unavailability to attend the event owing to prior commitment for a tour to Myanmar, a statement issued by the EMA said.
Every summer, EMA has been organising an annual convention cum social gathering to provide a platform for Manipuri diasporas and their friends to uphold the culture and tradition and to provide atmosphere of home away from home, it said.
The event this year will be held at Highball Centre, Hanley Swan, Malvern, Worcester.
