| November 4, 2010 | Consulate general of India office in Indonesia | | New Delhi: The Union Cabinet today approved the opening of a Consulate General of India (CGI) at Bali in Indonesia. The Consulate General of India will strengthen India's traditional bonds with Bali and also improve its protocol, commercial and consular presence in the island. This will provide an impetus to the commercial
interaction between India and Bali in Indonesia . The CGI in Bali will also be
beneficial to the local PIO community, which comprises over 230 families within
Bali itself, apart from some more Indian and PIO families in neighbouring East
and South Kalimantan . The proposed consulate will entail an annual recurring
expenditure of about ` 1,77,01,569/- per anum. In addition, there shall be one
time expenditure of ` 33,02,344/-. An Indian cultural centre was established in
Bali in 2004, which has done exemplary work in propagating yoga, Indian culture
and performing arts. With the increasing popularity of Bali as a holiday destination,
the number of Indian tourists going to Bali has also swelled to about 20,000 every
year. This has put enormous pressure on the meagre resources of the Indian cultural
centre in Bali.
