India donates USD 3mn to complete Palestine-India Techno Park

Ramallah:  India on Tuesday donated the final tranche of USD 3 million to complete the construction of Palestine-India Techno Park, which will serve as a launching pad for Palestinian IT entrepreneurs connecting them to the local, regional and global markets.
The latest of the four contributions completes India’s commitment to donate USD 12 million towards the establishment of the Techno Park in Ramallah, near Bir Zeit University, made in 2016 as part of the bilateral assistance project.
The project is almost in its final stage and likely to be inaugurated in February or March of next year, officials told PTI.
Representative of India (ROI) in Palestine, Sunil Kumar, handed over the cheque of USD 3 million to Dr. Majdi Al-Khaldi, Diplomatic Adviser to the President at a ceremony organized at the project site.
The ceremony was also attended by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr. Abdul Latif Abu Hijleh, and members of the administrative board.
Dr. Al-Khaldi expressed sincere gratitude towards the government and people of India for this generous contribution and for the “partnership in sharing expertise and capacity building efforts”.
