The business meet was held on the sidelines of the Indian Catalogs Exhibition, which was organized by the Chamber in cooperation with the Indian Embassy. Abdullatif Al-Arfaj, chairman of the board of directors of the chamber, and a number of businessmen and representatives of some companies in Al-Ahsa attended the event.
Ausaf said that the data and figures showed that the Kingdom is the fourth largest trading partner of India, and its major source of energy. “India imports about 18 percent of its needs of crude oil from the Kingdom, noting that the volume of bilateral trade between the two countries increased during 2018-2019 by about 24 percent, that valued at SR130 billion,” he said while citing a series of measures to improve the ease of doing business in the two countries.
The meeting and exhibition are an extension of the series of events organized by the chamber to inform and empower businessmen and businesswomen in Al-Ahsa on the latest information and data about commodities and products of friendly countries.
The exhibition witnessed the display of a large collection of identification catalogs, CDs, samples, brochures and various publications related to 200 Indian companies, operating in several sectors such as agriculture, food, cars, electronic, chemical and technical products, machinery, construction equipment, pharmaceuticals, motors and textiles, in addition to other specialized catalogs on tourism and healthcare in India.
