Besides, to improve trade ties with CIS countries, Commerce Ministry is planning to organise outreach programmes to realise their business potential. “To fill the information gap, we in the Commerce Ministry are planning outreach programmes in five cities,” Joint Secretary in the Commerce Ministry Rajiv Capoor said at the CIS Ambassadors’ Round Table Forum organised by Engineering Exports Promotion Council (EEPC) India. Two such programmes have already been conducted, including in Ahmedabad. The problems relating to visa need to be sorted out, Capoor added. The CIS member countries include Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Belarus, Russia, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, while participating states include Turkmenistan and Ukraine.
