Welcome to the website of the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Kolkata!

As neighbors connected by mountains and rivers, China and India are both ancient civilizations with long history and the two largest developing countries and emerging economies today. China has always attached great importance to China-India relations and we are prepared to work with Indian friends from all walks of life to promote the sound and steady development of China-India relations under the guidance of the important consensus reached by the two leaders.

Our consular district covers five states in eastern India: West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. The relations between the two people have spanned thousands of years. Here are the sacred sites of Buddhism, which has been passed down in China for thousands of years. Here is the birthplace of Rabindranath Tagore, the literary giant who is deeply loved by the Chinese people. Here is the hometown of Dr. Bejoy Kumar Basu, team mate of Dr. Kotnis in the Indian medical mission to China. Kolkata has long been famous for its education, literature and art, and is the cradle of modern Indian literary and artistic thought.

As the sixth Chinese Consul General in Kolkata, I am willing to work with my colleagues to promote friendly exchanges and cooperation in various fields between China and the consular district, and continuously deepen the people-to-people friendship. At the same time, the Consulate General will also provide high-quality and efficient consular services to Chinese compatriots in the consular area.

The Consulate General will promptly release the latest news and events on China and China-India exchanges and cooperation. Thank you for your attention. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.
