Ideal synergy between Czech technology and India’s growing market: Hamid Ansari

PRAGUE - Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari on Tuesday said there is an ideal synergy between Czech technology and India’s growing market, adding that there is also scope for cooperation between the universities and cultural institutions of the two countries.

“In modern times, our economic engagement has intensified to the mutual benefit of our peoples and countries. Czech engineers have contributed to India’s industrialization and BATA, Yezdi and Skoda are well known brand names in India,” said Ansari.

“Many Indian companies are present in the Czech Republic in diverse sectors such as software, trucks, pharmaceuticals and textiles,” he added in his address at the Toast at the Working Lunch hosted by Jan Fischer, the Prime Minister of Czech Republic.

The Indian Vice President further said the two countries are bound by commitment to democratic and parliamentary governance, human rights and tradition of pluralism.

“My delegation includes Members of Indian Parliament representing different political parties. They represent the diversity as well as the unity of India,” said Ansari.

“We have attempted inclusive economic growth within the framework of a Parliamentary democracy, so that all sections and groups have a stake in the growing prosperity of the nation,” he added. (ANI)
