Nienu said they were extremely proud to have gone beyond the “borders and boundaries” to share the “Naga culture and music” while also experiencing and enjoying the rich Thai culture and music “and more.” Thai cultural teams used to take part in Nagaland’s Hornbill festivals and also remarkably in the Road Show held at Phek, the home of the minister himself.
