Switzerland and Ireland have been selected as the country partners for the Hornbill Festival 2025, marking an important step in expanding the festival’s global reach. Their participation follows meetings between Nagaland’s Chief Minister and the ambassadors of both nations, during which cultural collaboration and deeper bilateral engagement were discussed. These partnerships will enrich the festival with diverse artistic expressions, including folk music, public art, and cultural exchanges. By welcoming global partners, the Hornbill Festival enhances its position as an international cultural convergence, strengthens cultural diplomacy, boosts tourism, and supports Nagaland’s economic and creative ecosystems.
