World Malayalee Conference in S'pore in Aug

Kochi, Nov 9: Around 1,000 delegates from 16 countries will participate in the sixth World Malayalee Conference in Singapore from August 22, 2008.

Council General Convener Dr K Nandakumar said the three-day conference, organised by the World Malayalee Council, would discuss the investment opportunities in Singapore against the backdrop of India signing a free trade agreement with that country.

''The conference will be an opportunity for non-resident Keralites from North America, Europe, Africa, West Asia and Australia to know more about the emerging Singapore economy,'' he said.

The event would also witness the centenary celebrations of the 'Malayalee Migration' to Singapore, he noted.
