Cultural forum stretches for success

Nobody expects to discuss fitness issues like yoga on occasions of high-end diplomacy, but delegates at the recent K2K forum featuring China-India cooperation did just that.

The two-day forum, which features interprovince cooperation between Southwest China's Yunnan province and India's northeastern states, aims to take subregional ties into all walks of life, such as bringing authentic Indian yoga to more Chinese fans as part of increasing cultural and educational exchanges.

The two Ks stand for Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, and Kolkata, the West Bengal capital formerly known as Calcutta.
