Presentation by Mr. Vijay Kalantri at INDIALLIA 2012
INDIALLIA allowed the perfect opportunity to promote Africa and specifically the Future Of Trade Africa as a platform for African trade with India. The doors between India and Africa are open for trade and this is the start of many new and developing business relations. The launch of the Proudly African initiative fits directly in line with these aims.
