FICCI Business Delegation Philippines Business Seminar & B2 B Meetings March 4-6, 2014, Manila We have great pleasure in inviting you to join the Business Delegation to Philippines to participate in the Conference and Buyer-Seller Meet being organized by FICCI from March 4-6, 2014 Manila, Philippines with the support of Indian Embassy and FICCI’s MOU Partners. The India-ASEAN trade is likely to increase from about US $ 80 billion currently to US$ 100 billion by 2015. However, the bilateral trade between India and the Philippines in FY 2012-13 was just US$ 1.6 billion of which almost two third is Indian exports to the Philippines. This shows the immense potential for trade between our countries. Also, India – Philippines economic cooperation has a major role in the India ASEAN FTA which is due to be concluded shortly. This will further open doors for trade and investments including that in Services. The Business Delegation would focus on sectors such as Agriculture, ...

The Al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadist group, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), linked the violence to a peace conference on Syria slated to take place in Switzerland on January 22.

Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said there could be even “more than 1,000″ dead, but his group has be...
