“As the DG of the South East Governors’ Forum, I am focused on my job. I intend to devote my time to the service and to the cause of the South East Governors, which is to build strong economic, political, and regional cooperation for the South East.”

“Top on the agenda of the governors are ongoing conversations around maintaining law and order, energy supply, modern transportation, and infrastructure to connect the major cities in the South-East through rail transport, etc.,” she said.
