Both countries have agreed to scale up two-way trade to $100 billion by 2015
India and Chinawill identify greater business opportunities in the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) segment across wide range of sectors from agricultural products to glassware and chemicals.
In a symposium organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) today several Chinese companies will be having business-to-business meetings with Indian SMEs.
Some of the Chinese companies taking part in the meeting are – Sinochem Group, Sinosteel Raw Materials Company Ltd, China Salt Import and Export Co Ltd, China National Township Enterprises Corporation, Chinatex Corporation and Shandong Hanbang Household Glassware Co Ltd among others.
The symposium will be addressed by Jia Guoyong, vice director general, Trade Development Bureau of China, who is leading 50-member business delegation, and Wang Hejun, economic and commercial counsellor, Embassy of China.
Even as India grapples to narrow the increasing trade imbalance with China, both sides have agreed to scale up the two-way trade to $100 billion by 2015 from $67.82 billion in 2012-13.
