Colombo: The Indian Government and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) will organise ‘India Show' in Colombo in August. The show will coincide with the visit of the Union Minister of Commerce, Mr Anand Sharma, to Sri Lanka.
The “India Show” will promote Indian technology and services, provide a platform for Indian companies to showcase their strengths and capabilities, and provide opportunities to Sri Lankan business to develop linkages with prospective Indian partners.
The main features of “India Show” are: Three days of exhibition from August 3 to 5; business conference; one-to-one meetings; visit of business delegation; visit of high-level Ministerial delegation; cultural evening and gala dinner.
A food festival and Indian wine sampling will also be organised to coincide with the “India Show”. More than 100 Indian companies are expected to participate in the event.
The Indian High Commission here organised an India-Sri Lanka Business Forum here recently to discuss the possibilities of enhancing trade and economic relations between India and Sri Lanka and informing the participants about the “India Show” planned for August 2012.
Mr Ashok K. Kantha, High Commissioner of India, said the two-way trade grew by 65 per cent in 2011, to reach about $ 5 billion. Referring to the slow down in the economic growth of the two countries, the High Commissioner emphasised the need to work closely to keep up the momentum of growth in bilateral trade.
