The first ever 'Made In India' exhibition, showcasing the country's modern products and technologies, opened in the Myanmar capital of Tangon on Thursday with the two countries hailing it as another step towards strengthening the growing ties between the Asian neighbours.
Inaugurating the exhibition at the Yangon Trade Centre, Myanmar's Commerce Minister Brig Gen Pyl Sone said: "Holding trade fairs was an effective way of trade promotion."
He also noted that India and Myanmar were part of the BIMST-EC economic grouping.
Commenting on the fast growing relations between the two countries, Brig Sone said: "Besides promoting normal trade it is imperative to promote border trade between India and Myanmar."
India's envoy to Myanmar R K Bhatia said the fair was aimed at showcasing India's products, technologies and capabilities to sensitise those interested about the possibilities of further cooperation between India and Myanmar and to strengthen existing business relationships and create new ones.
He said the growing ties between two neighbours was evident by the conclusion of seven new agreements along with several ministerial visits between them.
