Montenegro diplomats to don Khadi on their national day

Diplomats from Montenegro will wear Khadi outfits on their national day here on July 13, at an event named 'Trendy Montenegro with Indian Khadi', KVIC said today.

Khadi and Village Industries Commission Chairman V K Saxena said the event will globalise the concept of the natural fabric, which is a core property of Khadi. It is a zero-carbon footprint industry that patronises Indian artisans.

He said this event will promote the use of Khadi internationally with the Montenegrin and European trends, creating a global market for Khadi.

"KVIC will also work together with Montenegro in creating promotional commercial sales of its products," Saxena said in a statement.

Honorary Consul General of Montenegro in India, Janice Darbari, has expressed her happiness over KVIC collaborating with Montenegro, and said that goodwill and friendship in the diplomatic corps will be used to promote Khadi.

She said that top diplomats, of many countries, who will participate in the Montenegrin national day celebrations will get acquainted with Khadi.
