According to the giant South Asian country’s ambassador Rungsung Masakui the building of the iconic structure, which will showcase contemporary Indian designs, will provide employment to locals.

“An important feature of this project is that it will be worked on entirely by local hands. The design is created by a local architect, the project manager and contractor will also be Zimbabwean,” said Masakui.

He added that local businesses will also benefit from the construction of the embassy, to be built on 17,8 acres of land, which will include a multi-purpose hall, a yoga centre and eight staff residences. Daily News.
