Within the framework of the trip, Mr. Anil K. Agarwal met with Sergey Markov, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for External Relations of St. Petersburg, and Vyacheslav Kalganov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for External Relations of St. Petersburg. Mikhail Cherepanov, Chairman of the IMBRICS Organising Committee and Mikhail Sverdlov, Director of the IMBRICS Foundation, attended the meeting on behalf of the Organising Committee for the preparation and holding of the VII IMBRICS Forum.
The parties discussed the development of co-operation in the field of construction using the latest technologies, import and distribution of pharmaceutical products from India, cultural exchange between Russia and India, as well as the possibility of establishing joint ventures in the special economic zones (SEZ) in St. Petersburg. There was also a discussion on the formation of a delegation of entrepreneurs from India for the upcoming IMBRICS Forum.
