Haryana and the Province of Ontario in Canada today signed an MoU aimed at enhancing commercial and cultural ties.

The MoU was signed by the Managing Director of Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd, Sudhir Rajpal, and Deputy Minister of Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade, Helen Angus, in the presence of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, Premier of Ontario, Kathleen Wynne, and Premier of Prince Edward Island, Wade MacLauchlan.

The two sides decided to designate nodal agencies for timely and effective communication on matters of common interest, an official said.

Khattar said this was the first time that such nodal agencies have been designated. He said the Haryana government would organise ‘Happening Haryana Global Investors’ Summit-2016’ in Gurgaon on March 7 and 8 to attract investors to the State and extended an invitation to the Ontario Premier for the meet.

Khattar said the agreement inked by the two sides would help facilitate knowledge transfer in areas such as museum development and cultural preservation.
