MoS Harish Calls for Aligning Policies to Promote ASEAN-India Trade
New Delh, October 18: Minister of State for Agriculture, Shri Harish Rawat today inaugurated the Symposium on ‘Indo-ASEAN Export Potential of Agriculture Products- Growth Potential and Way Forward’ organized along with the ongoing 2nd ASEAN-India Ministerial Meeting on Agriculture & Forestry (17-19th October 2012).
Elaborating upon the scope for cooperation between ASEAN nations and India, he said, “Several ASEAN member states enjoy excellent agro-climatic conditions suitable for production of the commodities that India imports in large quantity. Similarly, India can be an important source for many of the commodities imported by ASEAN member states. I am, therefore, of the view that member countries can be benefited if we explore the complementarities and align our agricultural productions and trade policies to encourage greater bilateral trade in agro commodities”.
Ministers from ASEAN nations, Member, Planning Commission, Shri Abhijit Sen and DG ICAR, Dr. S. Ayyappan also addressed the symposium.
