On October 10, CDI delegation visited Shanghai Representative Office of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and discussed way forward for China-India collaboration in key areas such as pharmaceuticals and health care sector with Mr. Madhav Sharma, Head, Greater China & Chief Representative, CII.

Mr. Madhav Sharma pointed out that Indian pharmaceutical companies have access to Chinese market; however, the major obstacle is information gap. It is difficult for Indian enterprises to understand Chinese market because policy updates in English are unavailable. He suggested that CII and CDI do joint research to bridge the information gap.
