Helen Clark, the first New Zealand Prime Minister to visit India in nearly two decades, has met President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh among others on Wednesday Oct 20th.
Clark, who arrived on Sunday, visited India's technology hub Bangalore and financial capital Bombay where she sought to promote collaborations between companies in the two countries on new products and services.
Clark presented mementos to Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan, his father and director Rakesh Roshan and movie star Amisha Patel at a function for their contribution to popularising New Zealand as a destination for Indian movies during her visit to Bombay.
India has the largest film industry in the world, producing 800 movies a year. India's biggest blockbuster movie, called 'Say You Love Me' was filmed in New Zealand and this country was the launching pad for India's hottest new film star.
