shape with a resolution at the 2006 Delhi Forum meeting and the suggestion was soon affirmed between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese President Hu Jintao later in the same year with a joint communique.
"CII since then has been in dialogue with its counterpart organisations and governments in Bangladesh and Myanmar for this car rally," Banerjee said.
Banerjee incidentally has been honoured with the China-India Friendship Award by the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao for his contributions towards the development of bilateral ties between India and China.
Optimistic of the success of the rally, Banerjee said: "We don't see any major hurdles. In fact, we are very optimistic, looking at the interest and disposition of all the four countries that are involved. This is so because all of them stand to benefit."
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will flag off the rally in presence of CII President Adi Godrej from the four countries at the Helipad Ground in Saltlake Stadium tomorrow.
80 participants from the four countries will participate in 20 SUVs in the BCIM Car Rally.
