CHANDIGARH, FEB 3
Haryana and the Province of Ontario, Canada, have entered into a partnership with a view to pursuing common goals as Sister States. Therefore, both parties have signed an agreement and decided to designate Nodal Agencies from their sides for timely and effective communication on the matters of common interest.
While stating this here today, an official spokesman said that the Haryana Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Province of Ontario today to further enhance and strengthen economic relations, facilitate knowledge transfer and encourage ongoing dialogue and cooperation and collaborations in various fields.
The MoU was signed by Managing Director, Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, Mr. Sudhir Rajpal, on behalf of the Haryana Government and Deputy Minister, Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade, Ms. Helen Angus, on behalf of the Province of Ontario, in the presence of Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal, Industries Minister, Capt. Abhimanyu, Premier of Ontario, Ms. Kathleen Wynne, and Premier of Prince Edward Island, Mr. Wade MacLauchlan.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that the Haryana Government was organising ‘Happening Haryana Global Investors’ Summit-2016’ in Gurgaon on March 7 and 8, 2016, to woo investors, and invited Premier of Ontario, Ms. Kathleen Wynne, to participate in this event.
The Chief Minister said that this was for the first time that nodal agencies were being designated. Under the agreement, activities would be undertaken to facilitate knowledge transfer in the areas of museum development, cultural preservation and exchange. Collaborations would be encouraged in the fields of education and skill development, start-up ecosystem, food processing, science and technology, low carbon development and aerospace, besides other sectors, he added.
