The Syrian ambassador to India, Dr Riad Kamel Abbas, has shown keen interest in cultural exchange programmes with Himachal Pradesh and has also expressed interest in enrolling students from that country in professional courses of law, management and IT being offered at the Himachal Pradesh University.
Dr Abbas disclosed about the interest at a meeting with vice-chancellor of HPU, Prof ADN Bajpai on Tuesday at Syrian embassy in New Delhi. ``HPU is a reputed university and students from Syria will benefit from education at its various centres, including the international centre for distance education and open learning (ICDEOL),`` he said.
The cultural heritage of Himachal is quite unique and Syria would encourage exchange of cultural troupes with Himachal to showcase the rich heritage which would further strengthen the historical and cultural ties between India and Syria, he said. Dr Abbas would be the guest of honour at the three-day foundation day function of HPU on July 22.
