A three-day Business Forum to strengthen economic cooperation between
India and Russia as part of the "Days of Moscow in Delhi" event opened in New Delhi on Friday.
Cultural, literacy and fashion events will also held
during the next two days, a spokesman of the Delhi State Industrial and
Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (DSIIDC), which
organised the event, said.
Over 60 businessmen from Delhi and
Moscow participated in the forum, which was "held in a business like
constructive and cooperative atmosphere", the spokesman said.
Both
parties acknowledged the importance and mutual interest in exchanging
experience accumulated by Moscow and Delhi in areas like road and
transport infrastructure, water and sewage, security and emergency
management, e-governance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and IT.
The
parties agreed that this could be best achieved through exchanging
working groups consisting of experts, conducting joint projects in the
aforementioned spheres and promoting partnership projects, the spokesman
said.
Inaugurating the Forum Delhi Industries Minister Haroon
Yusuf mentioned that a sister–city relationship will promote and broaden
culture and economic and trade relations.
He also mentioned
that the endeavour of the Delhi government is to promote
knowledge-based, high-technology and skilled industries, develop
world-class infrastructure within industrial estates and facilitate
business through procedural simplifications and e-governance measures.
He also stated that because of a deep talent pool, particularly
in high technology areas, Delhi provides excellent investment
opportunities. In terms of ease of doing business, Delhi is one of the
top ten cities in India.
According to the Doing Business in
India–2009 study by World Bank, Delhi ranks 6th among 17 cities
surveyed. In fact, the survey ranks Delhi at the top for the "Starting
Business" parameter, indicating that companies wanting to set up
business in Delhi require least number of days and procedures to do so.
