India Corner, a program initiated by the Indian government earlier this year to promote its country's modern culture and tourism, was launched July 5 in Qingyang District, Chengdu, which is the first city across the world to perform the program.
"Chengdu is one of the most important cities in southwest China. We set up the Corner here because of its fast economic and social development, profound culture and transport accessibility to India," said Mr. Y.K. Sailas Thangal, Consul General of the Consulate General of India in Guangzhou.
Upon completion, the India Corner will serve as a Sino-Indian cultural exchange and communication center, and a business incubator for companies from the two countries, Mr. Sailas Thangal said. It will also provide Indian information for Chengduers, as well as stage cultural activities such as film screening and yoga sessions.
Meanwhile, an India film festival with 8 Bollywood movies, including Dangal, Hindi Medium and 3 Idiots, to be screened, kicked off on the day.
