Seminar on Doing Business with China in City

Hyderabad|India|July'2012: Ties between India and China have undergone significant transformation in the last two decades. The engagement is broader and the relationship has acquired more substance. A key element of these changed ties is its economic component. From being an insignificant player, China is now India’s largest trading partner with more than US$ 70 billion worth goods traded last year. Indian and Chinese companies are setting up operations in each others’ countries, in some cases for the global markets. Indian IT companies are making serious moves in China, demonstrating their capabilities in banking, stock exchange and forex trading platforms. A number of Indian companies have set up their manufacturing facility in China to tap the large domestic market. Twelve Indian banks operate in China with various levels of licenses. On their part, Chinese companies have built an impressive record of exports and emerged as important suppliers for infrastructure projects in India. Many of them have also set up their manufacturing facility and R&D centres.

The leaders from the two countries have set the ambitious goal of reaching a trade volume of $100 billion by 2015. It reveals that the bilateral economic cooperation between India and China has entered a more vigorous and fruitful "new period" graduating from pure trade to investment-led-trade thereby making this growing partnership more sustainable.
