AGARTALA, October 28 (TIWN): People of the Leftist ruled State received a moral boost from Ms. Helen LaFave, US Consulate General Kolkata on several perspectives of pats for capitalism,hope for investments despite state government's reluctance to bring a changed outlook to business and industry in Tripura.

LaFave on her maiden visit to the state said, “United States always look forward to enhance commercial and economical ties between India and Southeast Asian countries.” Extra stress on trade issues with Bangladesh being the neighboring nation of the state to develop bilateral trade connections was also put forward by her during a press meet at Ginger Hotel here today.

When asked about human trafficking in the state, LaFave didn’t turn deaf ears to this question and replied mentioning that this is a sensitive issue worldwide and cannot be specified for Tripura in recent period.

However, she appreciated the late meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama in United States, where the topics of narrowing the gap between rich and poor were discussed thoroughly in this country with extensive thoughts to develop trade and economy in commercially stagnated states of India.

“US is always open for commercial, help and education issues to make the society in India to get counted among a just world,” said LaFave. LaFave never attacked the state government on its Leftist thoughts, but rather appreciated several ongoing trade projects in Tripura.

LaFave officially covers 11 states in country where many Northeast states have also made its presence felt among 270 million Indians as US Consulate office is administering in this country, being the second largest oldest consulate i.e Kolkata.
