Srinagar, 20 June (H.S.): Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday called for strengthening India's soft power and promotion of cultural diplomacy, saying the country can be the bridge the world needs.

The LG made these remarks while delivering the keynote address at Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue at the SKICC here.

Sinha said that our goal is to revive our great inheritances of knowledge and spirituality, strengthen India's civilisational traditions, and shape a future-oriented education that connects our youth to both the past and modern tech.

Good governance promotes cultural dialogue and together they shape the moral, cultural, and human character of a society, and formulate inclusive policies, he said.

“Together, the scholars of Jammu Kashmir and Nalanda shaped one of the world’s oldest living civilisations. This heritage is our guiding light. The Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue is our opportunity to carry that light forward with wisdom, courage, and a new vision for Viksit Bharat,” he said.

Sinha called for strengthening India’s soft power and promotion of cultural diplomacy.
