NEW DELHI, Mar 31 (Hina) - A Croatian parliamentary delegation
visiting India on Wednesday held talks with officials of both
houses of the Indian parliament and the Indian Foreign Ministry's
state secretary.
It was pointed out during the talks that Croatian-Indian political
relations were on the ascendant, and that both countries wished to
further strengthen these relations, as well as ties between the two
parliaments.
Indian Vice President and Upper House president Krishan Kant, Lower
House president G.M.C. Balayogi, and state secretary Vashundara
Raje expressed the genuine friendship India and its parliament feel
towards Croatia, appreciating its independent position and
struggle for independence, said Vladimir Seks, the head of the
Croatian delegation.
During talks with Kant and Bayalogi, it was agreed to establish
stronger inter-parliamentary cooperation. This, Seks believes,
will contribute to strengthening and developing the currently
excellent political relations between Croatia and India.
Three inter-state agreements and those being drafted, for instance
on the avoidance of double taxation, will contribute to the
development of economic cooperation, Seks said.
Talks with Indian officials also tackled many foreign policy
subjects. The Croatian delegation expressed Croatia's view of the
NATO strikes on Yugoslavia.
Seks said Croatia would support India's endeavours to become a
standing member of the United Nations Security Council, while India
promised to support Croatia in international institutions.
Reiterated during the talks were the invitations to the Croatian
President to visit India, and to the Indian President to visit
Croatia.
The Croatian parliamentary delegation was today acquainted with
India's industrial potentials during a visit to the industrial
complex of the city of Faridabad. The delegation also visited the
Croatian Embassy in New Delhi.
On Thursday the delegation will visit Goa and Mumbay.
