EEPC seeks to enhance international dimension

The Engineering Export Promotion Council is exploring possibilities of undertaking joint programmes with international agencies, with some financial assistance as well.C. S. Shukla, the council's advisor, told The Hindu here on Thursday that the council had written to various bodies such as the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries, the European Economic Community, and the Asian Development Bank. Some of these bodies had funds for developing countries.

"This is very much at an initial stage. Only after getting a specific response from them can we submit proposals," he said.Mr. Shukla explained that the council had signed agreements with a number of industrial bodies in Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Germany and China. These were signed during international events such as visit of trade delegation or exhibitions. The objective was to have joint programmes, exchange of trade information and business delegations. Many of these agreements need to be revived and the council was writing to all these associations in this regard. It was trying to have at least a couple of events in a year based on each such agreement.
This would improve the export opportunities for the Indian companies through more export promotional activities.These efforts were part of an initiative to enhance and develop an international dimension to the council, he said.
