American Malayalis can play an important role in the development of Kerala, said Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal on Saturday.
He was inaugurating the 15th Kerala convention of the Federation of Malayalee Associations of Americas (FOMAA) in Kollam. “Events like the Loka Kerala Sabha are necessary to provide a platform for development discussions. Organisations like FOMAA too can also arrange venues for such discussions,” he said.
While Minister for Water Resources Roshy Augustine delivered the keynote address, Daleema Jojo, MLA, former MLA, Raju Abraham and former Ambassador T.P. Sreenivasan also spoke on the occasion.
