In the age of globalisation, one cannot shrug off the importance<br />
of proximities and performances of the neighbouring, regional<br />
countries. A fast growing economy with trade growth in double<br />
figures can haul along regional countries and contribute to<br />
overall trade growth. <strong>One</strong> such prime example is the triangle of<br />
China, India and Dubai.<br />
As China economy heats up and India Inc. scouts for new<br />
markets, Dubai is destined to play a substantial role in their<br />
supply chains due to its strategic geographical location, stateof-the-art<br />
facilities in logistics, free zones, ports and airports.<br />
Both the Asian giants are already biggest trade partners of the<br />
emirate. Last year, total imports from India were worth US$6.5<br />
billion, with China coming next at US$6 billion. India also<br />
constituted Dubai’s largest export market with total exports of<br />
US$240 million.<br />
Identifying and understanding business opportunities in China<br />
and India requires far more than an understanding of<br />
technology trends and take rates. To cash in requires<br />
knowledge of infrastructure, supply chains, geo-political<br />
issues, population, density, terrain, regulatory rules and<br />
cultural climates.<br />
<strong>SCLG</strong> is fully committed to facilitate exchange of information<br />
and finding new ways to facilitate more opportuninties for the<br />
business communities from both sides to be more deeply<br />
engaged in trade and in investment flows.<br />
