Mr Sridharan Madhusudhanan, Counsellor/Head of Chancery, High Commission of India to visit

Mr Sridharan Madhusudhanan, the Counsellor and Head of Chancery at the High Commission of India in Suva will visit the Cook Islands from 4 to 8 May 2010. Mr Mahusudhanan will meet the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Immigration, Dr Jim Gosselin, and other government officials to discuss projects funded by the Government of India under a Grant scheme.
Diplomatic relations between the Cook Islands and India were established in 1998 and India became a Post-Forum Dialogue Partner in 2003. Since 2006, India has committed over US$400,000 to the Cook Islands in Grant Aid, some of which has been utilised for information technology related projects. “The Cook Islands is very grateful for India’s assistance to this country over the years. While India is a developing country, it is a significant player on the global stage and provides the Cook Islands with opportunities for cooperation and collaboration in numerous fields including information technology, education and climate change,” said the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Immigration.
