An apex body representing the Goan diaspora around the world will be set up by December 2010 with its headquarters in Panaji, commissioner for NRI Affairs of the government of Goa, Eduardo Faleiro, announced on Thursday while speaking at the opening of the two-day Fourth Global Goan Convention held at the Indian embassy auditorium in Muscat.
Faleiro said that the first step in this direction would be to appoint one representative for each country. “Then we will work with all these people to discuss modalities for the setting up of this apex body,” he said. He said that he has plans to set up a facility wherein the Goa community from all over the world can stay when they visit India.
