Former Nigerian Foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama, who visited India on ICCR’s Distinguished Visitors Programme (DVP), shared the following words on the conclusion of his 10 day visit to India : “I can tell you that without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best visit I have ever undertaken to a foreign country in my life. I never imagined a visit could be so enjoyable and so much fun. I also never imagined that a visit of this duration with so much movement and travel could be so perfectly organized and I could never imagine that during a visit of this duration and with so many people involved, that everyone without exception, could be so kind, so warm, so welcoming and so generous. My wife and I are in a state of pure rapture. I can only describe it as a love fest. We can never thank you and your compatriots enough for all you have done to bring us so much joy.” @narendramodi @PMOIndia @DrSJaishankar @KVSinghMPGonda @PmargheritaBJP @MEAIndia @IndianDiplomacy @india_nigeria @GeoffreyOnyeama #IndiaNigeriaRelations #CulturalDiplomacy #ICCR #DistinguishedVisitorsProgramme #PeopleToPeopleConnect #IndiaAfrica #PublicDiplomacy #GlobalPartnership
