KOLKATA, 7 JUNE 2019: As part of an attempt to make a strong case for Bengal as a rewarding investment destination and explain the enormous opportunities that it offers, a 14-member Bengal National Chambers of Commerce and Industry (BNCCI) delegation will set out for Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan province, on 10 June 2019.
“This is a very special business mission for us,” Satyam Roychowdhury, the president of the 132-year-old chamber said, adding that the other key objective is to strike up a stronger connect with businesses in China, especially those located in Yunnan province.
Roychowdhury, who is also the Managing Director of the Techno India Group and Chancellor of Sister Nivedita University, will lead this multi-sectoral delegation.
“In Kunming, the delegation will attend the two-day China-South Asia Cooperation Forum billed for 10-11 June. Our main aim is to create an effective channel and mechanism which will allow businesses located in Kunming and Bengal, not only to explore mutual business opportunities but also to understand how businesses are done there,” said Roychowdhury.
In Kunming, the BNCCI delegation will be engaged in a series of meetings with key business leaders and important Government officials of Yunnan province, including its Governor, Ruan Chengfa.
“We are confident that the Forum will serve as an effective link between Kolkata and Kunming and help prepare the road ahead for us. We feel honoured to be invited to speak at the Forum during which we are going to make some important advocacies, especially for deepening and strengthening strategic partnership and bilateral trade between the two regions,” Roychowdhury said.
“At the forum, we will strongly pitch for sharing of best practices, technology exchanges, education exchange programmes, tourism promotion, etc.,” Roychowdhury said, adding that BNCCI wishes to especially thank Zha Liyou, the Hon’ble Consul General of China in Kolkata, and his team, for their unstinted support to the BNCCI delegation.
“We are intently looking forward to some positive outcomes during our Mission in Kunming,” he said.
