India is displaying its economic prowess at an expo in Warsaw as it eyes Poland as a springboard to enter European Union markets.
"Poland is an interesting country for India because it is now an EU member and a springboard as well as entry point for the larger combined EU market," Indian ambassador to Poland Anil Wadhwa said inaugurating a three-day Indian multi product exhibition in Warsaw earlier this week.
He said that India is interested in investments in the ferrous as well as non-ferrous sectors, as well as automotive components and parts, textiles and pharmaceuticals.
Traditional Indian export items including handicrafts, jewellery, textiles, leather along with IT, pharmaceuticals, steel and chemical products are being displayed at the Indian exhibition entitled "India initiative 2005" at the historical Palace of Culture in Warsaw, an embassy release said.
Four state governments - Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are sponsoring their companies at the exhibition, co-ordinated by the All India Association of Industries in cooperation with the Indian embassy.
The exhibition also includes display of traditional Indian crafts like tie and dying, carpet weaving, Khadi spinning and embroidery, it said.
Leading pop singer Mehnaz presented the face of modernity of India in Poland with a live concert at the Palace of Culture for the cream of Warsaw society followed by Indian wine tasting - another first in Poland.
