Korean tradition to light up Ayodhya on Diwali

| Tuesday | 18th September, 2018

"The Kim Hae festival to mark princess Suriratna's arrival in Korea is celebrated each year. Samsung already has its largest smartphone manufacturing unit in Greater Nodia, close to an LG plant," Bongkil said. Saying that UP has an abundance of labour, more reasonable than even labour in Korea, and implementation of GST which has eased the investment process, Bongkil called UP "aggressive" in pursuing potential investments. The ambassador led a team of 30 industrialists to Lucknow and met with government officials and industry representatives to explore investment opportunities in the state. "Representatives of companies like Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Posco Steel etc., accompanied me on this visit.

LUCKNOW: This Diwali, a celebratory procession to mark the arrival of princess Suriratna from Ayodhya in Korea, which is taken out in Korea annually, will also be showcased in Ayodhya.Shin Bongkil, the ambassador of the Republic of Korea, and Sanjeev Singh, officer on special duty in CM Yogi Adityanath's office, announced that a special procession will be held at the Deepotsava this year, which is expected to be attended by a high level ministerial delegation from Korea."The Kim Hae festival to mark princess Suriratna's arrival in Korea is celebrated each year. And this year, it will also be staged in Ayodhya. Korea and UP share a special bond not just because about 10% of Koreans are descendants of the princess, who came to Korea to marry King Kim Suro about 2,000 years back, but also because one-third of the country are practising Buddhists. Also, UP is home to several important Buddhist shrines," said Bongkil. The ambassador led a team of 30 industrialists to Lucknow and met with government officials and industry representatives to explore investment opportunities in the state. Saying that UP has an abundance of labour, more reasonable than even labour in Korea, and implementation of GST which has eased the investment process, Bongkil called UP "aggressive" in pursuing potential investments."Representatives of companies like Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Posco Steel etc., accompanied me on this visit. Other than electronics, Koreans would be keen on investing in construction, engineering, solar energy. Samsung already has its largest smartphone manufacturing unit in Greater Nodia, close to an LG plant," Bongkil said. He added that while the 'Make in India' policy has attracted investors, "high quality labour" available in the state and a massive demand for electronic goods made it more cost effective to manufacture here rather than in another South Asian country and import it to India.
