They also invited Patna mayor, Sanjay Kumar and
tourism secretary, Rashmi Verma, to the International
Tourism Fair being organized there next month. The
meeting called for developing cultural ties between
Hunan and Bihar. The commonalities of the two states
also came up during the discussion.
The Chinese team members said that while 85 per cent
of the people of Bihar are engaged in agriculture that
of Hunan is 67 per cent. Animal husbandry is also a
favourite occupation of people of both the places.
The Chinese team also called on the governor, R S
Gavai.

minister Pranab Mukherjee last month requested the
Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar to lead a goodwill
delegation to China.

him to lead a delegation under the exchange programme
of the External Affairs Ministry with the
international department of the Communist Party of
China.
