During the forum’s meeting, the working groups also focussed on building partnership in other areas, such as entrepreneurship and promoting small businesses, energy, water and environment, infrastructure and manufacturing, financial services, trade and investments. This is the sixth time the forum has been convened since its reconstitution in December 2014.
“The forum continues to be an effective platform for dialogue across key sectoral themes and to identify areas for closer collaboration for the mutual benefit of both economies,” the commerce ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
