The launch celebrated the ‘30th anniversary of formally established diplomatic relations between India and Georgia’. “It was a pleasure to host the ambassador for this occasion. He has been to Calcutta four to five times. This trip was mainly for the book launch,” said Arjun. The launch was followed by a luncheon, hosted by Arjun.
