DUBAI: President Pratibha Patil, on a five-day visit to the UAE, will inaugurate an India trade and exhibition centre, a non-profit organisation aimed at facilitating Indian businesses in the region.
The India Trade and Exhibition Centre will be opened tomorrow by the President in the emirate of Sharjah, officials said.
The Centre, set up under the auspices of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), aims to create new opportunities to boost the already burgeoning trade ties between India and the UAE with support from the respective governments.
The Centre also aims to provide a platform for Indian entrepreneurs to expand into the lucrative Gulf and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) markets and will play a role in attracting foreign investments to India.
