India, France to strengthen IPR ties; agreement soon

ECONOMY BUREAU

NEW DELHI, JULY 13: India and France have agreed to strengthen
cooperation in the area of intellectual property rights (IPR) and
will soon sign a bilateral agreement regarding the same. This was
decided after a meeting minister of state for industry Ashwani Kumar
had on Wednesday with his French counterpart Francois Loos.

India has also asked the French industry to increase its presence in
infrastructure, high technology, aerospace, IT and electronics
sectors. Kumar also welcomed the decision of the Paris Chamber of
Commerce to send a business delegation to India in December.

The minister is in Paris to promote India as an investment destination.

Kumar and Loos also discussed the feasibility of investments in India
by the French small and medium enterprises. Kumar said while Indian
companies were aggressively investing overseas, the French investment
in India is meager compared to the potential of the French industry.

The Paris Chamber of Commerce, the members of which account for 40%
of French GDP, is soon opening a liaison office in Mumbai. The move
may give a significant boost to Indo-French economic ties.
