(L-R) British High Commissioner to India Richard Stagg along with British Deputy High Commissioner of Eastern India, Simon Wilson.
Stagg made the observations during an interaction with media persons here this evening. The British high commissioner observed that the people in the border areas are also not ‘well managed’ and there is low socio-economic development.
On other matters, the high commissioner said the World War II museum at Kisama and Kohima War cemetery have been ‘very moving’ and ‘impressive’.
He expressed profound gratefulness to the Naga people for rendering help to the British during the Second World War. He also assured war artifacts to be contributed to the museum.
The commissioner further said education is an area where the British can help and collaborate in developing the NE region.
This contributory effort can be by providing expertise and vocational training. Stagg hoped to see Nagaland in an elevated position with links outside.
Also present at the meeting, British Deputy High Commissioner, Eastern India, Simon Wilson said some development in the state have been noticed after his last year’s visit. The British team during their visit also met with the chief minister, chief secretary, the director general of police and other non-resident Nagas.
