The event was aimed at helping local businesses exploit the benefit of the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) which took effect last year.
The deal removes tariff barriers on electric appliances, chemicals, machines and textile-garment products which account for 80 percent of bilateral exports.
As a result, many Vietnamese products such as rubber, computer components, electrics, garments and textiles found their way into the Indian market.

At the get-together, representatives from the Indian Chamber of Commerce briefed local businesses on India’s customs procedures and import-export policies while the provincial leaders introduced the local business environment and its projects calling for investment./.
