Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh reacting to the response of the delegates and ambassadors said, “As a Chief Minister of the state my duty is to give maximum happiness to the delegates who are visiting from India and abroad. Around 50 delegates from foreign countries have arrived. So far the reactions from the media people I got are very happy and this kind of experience is the first of its kind in entire India. It is the first of its kind where altogether 34-35 tribes are dancing and enjoying their traditional apparel, dress, customary and food items.”
CM N Biren Singh hoped that after the G20 meeting, the state will be able to attract a lot of investment and the state’s industrial sector will get a boost.
