Indo-American chamber to lead business team to US
New Delhi, June 11
Indo-American Chamber of
Commerce (IACC) on Thursday said it will lead another delegation to the
US next month to meet engage with key leaders across the spectrum in a
bid to step up the tempo of bilateral commercial exchanges.
"Participating
in such exchanges enables our members to meet the business, civic and
political leadership in major US cities and that is a key first step in
forging strong business alliances on both siâ€es," said Asoke K Laha,
IACC president who will personally lead the delegation.
Keeping
this view, the chamber is organising business vents from July 5-12 at
Atlanta, Dallas and Houston. In Houston, in particular, the respective
chapters of India and Greater Houston share a 10-year partnership since a
pact between them, a statement said.
Recently IACC-India had
hosted two delegations from Greater Houston -- one on ports and
infrastructure and the other one led by the mayor, covering delegates
from major industry sectors.
Starting with an economic summit
last October, IACC unveiled a pro-active program of engagement that
included a number of confabulations in its target areas of bilateral
trade including IT and cyber security, aviation, hospitality,
entertainment, accounting, law and services.
In March this year,
it took another major step by taking a delegation to the high-profile
Select USA Investment Summit in Washington DC.
The Indo-American
Chamber of Commerce (IACC), established in 1968, is a major bi-lateral
chamber that synergises India-US economic engagement.
