India and Lebonan have joined hands in hosting the Surajkund Craft Mela 2015.
Akram Shuhaib, Finance and Agriculture minister of Lebanon, said that his country has been selected as a partner country for the first time for which he was thankful to Haryana as well as to the Indian government.
"This partnership in hosting the mela will go further and would lead to a strong bonding between the two countries. This would also enhance the possibilities in business and trade," said Akram Shuhaib, Finance and Agriculture minister of Lebanon.
He said that this strengthening of trade and business between the two countries would reflect in imports of olive oil, honey, wine and food products by India as these are the major products of Lebanon.
The minister further said, "In the coming days wherever an opportunity is given, Lebanon would be more than happy to display the heritage, agriculture, customs and philosophy of the country."
On the occasion, Aditya Dahiya, Administrator Mela welcomed the guests from Lebanon.
