IMPHAL/AGARTALA, Nov 29 (TIWN): Ambassador in Manipur for Sangai fest, holds talks with Ibobi on trade, cultural ties.Yucheng is here for three days to attend Manipur's 10-day annual Sangai tourism festival.

Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar Economic Corridor (BCIM-EC) would be pivotal for improving political and economic ties among the countries of South East Asia. As these countries are quite rich in natural resources, BCIM-EC can be a springboard for economic development and enhanced investment for all the member countries.

BCIM-EC is basically aimed at forging closer ties among the member countries through improved transport and communication networks. Manipur occupies a strategic position in the economic corridor envisaged by the four countries and this strategic location would be very advantageous to Manipur, Le Yucheng said.

If there are students who are eager to learn Chinese language, a Chinese cultural institute may be set up in Manipur. The same institute can also facilitate closer cultural exchange between China and India, particularly North East India.

During his four day stay at Imphal, the Chinese diplomat watched Sangai festival, polo match, classical music, folk dance, visited Loktak Lake, witnessed Manipuri wedding ceremony and interacted with rural people.

He also expressed keen desire to re-visit Manipur sometime later
