Union Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Civil Aviation Suresh Prabhu inaugurated the India Chapter of Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) in New Delhi. The inauguration was attended by business leaders, development banks, various chambers of commerce, diplomats, and media. A 25-member delegation of Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce comprising political and business leaders from Canada specially flew to India for the launch. Vikas Sharma will be its first President.

 

Founded 41 years ago in 1977, the ICCC is a non-profit, non-partisan organization which has been promoting individual initiative, and the ability of Canadian and Indian members settled in Canada to make positive contributions to the economic, cultural and social fabric of Canada.

 

The Commerce Minister expressed his hope that the presence of the apex business chamber in India will further enhance ties between India and Canada. While the two-way trade between the two countries is good, its full potential has not yet been reached.

 

Talking about his vision for the India Chapter, Pramod Goyal President, ICCC said that now there will be more dynamic work and visibility. Inviting Ministers and industry leaders to visit Canada, he said through the India Chapter he expects to achieve continuity and fast paced progress in achieving bilateral goals.

 

Taking over the reins in India, Vikas Sharma, President, ICCC, India Chapter said that his first and foremost priority is to create a non-partisan platform to bolster Trade Promotion and Advocacy, while serving its members with utmost dedication and building mutually beneficial relationships.

 

Tauseef Sheikh, Vice President, ICCC said that there is no denying that even by conservative estimates, India is going to be a major investment destination in the coming years. Investors from India are relatively conservative by nature and prefer to satisfy some critical marks before deciding to invest abroad. The support of a strong and experienced India based team of Indians that are well placed to guide investment ventures can be a valuable asset for Indian investors.
