Mexico ambassador invites GCCI team

The ambassador of Mexico to India, Julio Faesler Carlisle, invited the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) to lead a delegation to his country to showcase the strengths of Gujarat's economy and business and understand the business ambience in Mexico.

Addressing the members of the chamber, he also called for increasing bilateral trade and economic co-operation between India and Mexico.

Carlisle said Mexico was keen to utilise India's business and economic strength and in this context, governors of two Mexican provinces would visit India soon.

Carlisle also emphasised the need for further increasing and diversifying bilateral trade through physical export as well as investments in the countries as there was a tremendous opportunity for such a co-operation.

He said Mexico imported fertiliser, yarn, textiles, handicraft items, chemicals and pharmaceutical products from India while it exported petroleum products in large quantity.

He said there was a huge scope for enhancing co-operation in the information technology sector.

Welcoming Carlisle, president of GCCI, Shreyas Pandya said Mexico could definitely take advantage of the diversified industrial base of Gujarat which was a leader in export of chemical, pharmaceutical, engineering and textile products and ready-made garments.

He said there was a steady increase in exports from India to Mexico in the last couple of years.

Chinubhai Shah, vice president of the chamber, requested the ambassador to provide more information about the economy and business strength of Mexico for the benefit of entrepreneurs in Gujarat.
