Mexican visa and business delegation 7-12 september

the more exciting news first...The Mexican embassy has started issuing five year multi entry business visas. Earlier they were issuing three year visa. You all know how it was three years back.
Credit for this goes to Ambassador Rogelio, who has moved heaven and the immigration dept for this.He got a four member delegation of the Immigration Dept here to look into the visa issues. In their meeting with me on 29 August, they took me by surprise asking me "what else they could do to attract Indian business visitors and make their visit more pleasant". They are going to liberalise the sytem further and faciliate work permits specially for the IT professionals.

The Ambassador is also organising the visit of a 103 member business delegation. List in the attachment. areas of interest include IT, callcentres, food products, pharma, chemicals, construction, textiles and giftitems. Delegation will arrive in delhi on friday 7 sept evening and be in delhi till 11th morning at Hotel Taj Palace. on 10 sept they will be in the bz seminar (CII- FICCI- Assocham) from 10.30am to 3 pm followed by individual bz meetings at Maurya Sheraton. President of mexico will addrss the seminar at 1300 hrs. IT part of the delegation will be in bangalore on 11th at Leela Hotel. Rest will be in Mumbai on 11-12 at Oberoi. 12th morning seminar by Assocham. for further info and contactVidya and Gunveena at CII and Luis Gerardo ( first secy) at the mexicanembassy

Our exports to mexico in 2006 were 1125 million dollars and imports 454million. I, the optimist, expect bilateral trade to touch 5 billion by 2010.Indian cos hv already invested 3 billion dollars in mexico. Besides its ownlarge mkt, mexico is the gateway to NAFTA and central American mkts. more details in my website.

Here is the list of the delegation ( name of delegate, name of company and and their areas and products of interest in that order). bit clumsy.. please bear with me
