Mukhopadhyay, who met with the state Chief Minister Nabam Tuki at New Delhi yesterday, said he would lead a high level delegation from that country to the state likely in April to explore possibilities of collaboration, a communique from the CMO said here today.
Asserting the state government's priority to eradicate poverty and backwardness in different parts of Indo-Myanmar border, Tuki urged the Ambassador to initiate confidence building measures and help create meaningful synergies between the people of both the countries.
"If one considers a catchment area with a radius of 1000 km, the region would be central to at least 10 countries. This geo-strategic concept gains eminence in the light of the country's 'Act East Policy'," he said.
He also reiterated the importance of opening Indo-Myanmar connectivity through Pangsau Pass on the historic Stilwell Road, the communique said.
