The Indian ambassador visited Hafnarfjörður

The Indian ambassador’s visits

Business, tourism, India, global issues and the six-month stay of R. Ravindra, the Indian ambassador, were discussed when he met with the mayor of Hafnarfjörður, Valdimar Víðisson, in town hall last week.

Ravindra is now strengthening ties and visiting municipalities in the capital region. Yoga was mentioned, and he also expects even more Indian tourists to come to the country, in addition to the well over twenty thousand that came last year.

Strengthening ties

The meeting was informal but important for strengthening ties. Ravindra had a major interview with Morgunblaðið in early April. There, he expressed optimism that direct flights between the countries would soon begin. A new trade agreement would facilitate Indians making their mark in Iceland just as it would do the same for Icelanders in India. There are many opportunities for Icelanders there.

Ravindra has a long career in India’s foreign service, dating back to 1999. He has worked in Egypt, Libya, Sri Lanka, Ivory Coast, and at India’s permanent mission to the United Nations in New York. He is now the Indian ambassador of Iceland.

Thank you, Ravindra, for your important visit.
