Last night we had the wonderful opportunity to have present at our 2nd (montlhy) China-India Working Group Session:
Her Excellency, Ambassador Rao, who gave an honerable and inspirational opening remark on India and China’s blossoming bilateral relationship and parallel movements in growing their economies and seeking harmony in their aims to develop their societies.
Dr. Anil K. Gupta gave a lecture on ‘How to Get China and India Right’ and the importance of China AND India (rather than China Vs. India). Much of the points Dr. Gupta made in his speech can be read in his co-authored piece for The Wall Street Journal that appeared as a full-page article in the US, Asia, and Europe editions on April 28th at: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117735342493979298.html; you may also find interesting two video and audio interviews that WSJ conducted with Dr. Gupta at: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117735342493979298.html and at: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid572031310 and at: http://podcast.mktw.net/wsj/audio/20070426/pod-wsjgupta/pod-wsjgupta.mp3.
Mr. Devonshire-Ellis also spoke on Indian Special Economic Zones. His presentation can be viewed at: http://www.2point6billion.com/India_SEZs_Introduction.pdf.
