BRICS Forum Seeks New Markets for Indian Businesses
The BRICS Business Forum brings companies and government representatives together to find ways to do more business.
Indian companies may gain access to new customers and markets through these connections.
Businesses are also trying to meet potential partners directly instead of using middlemen.
Evgeniy Zakharov of Eurasia Motors said he had already met possible partners at the forum.
He said trade between some countries is currently small but could grow.
Dereje Walelign Mera said working groups are studying tariffs and other problems that make trade difficult.
Removing these problems could make it easier for companies in BRICS+ economies to work together.
The forum’s ideas may also help cooperation in technology, investment, digital business and supply chains.
The BRICS Business Forum is promoting stronger trade and business links among participating economies.
