The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Export Promotion Agency of Afghanistan (EPAA) and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of Afghanistan, following the visit of a 10-member business delegation representing natural herbs, fresh fruits and dry fruit sectors from Afghanistan.
The signing of the agreement is important since Afghanistan has just got over with elections signifying that the environment is conducive for conducting business. The MoU was signed by Ajay Sahai, Director-General and CEO, FIEO, and Najilla Habibyar, CEO of EPAA.
The MoU is aimed at facilitating exchange visits of investment and trade missions, project study groups, with both parties providing information on standard requirements of their respective countries.
While FIEO will share its experience with EPAA and support the agency in terms of capacity building and exchange programmes, it would cooperate with EPAA to enhance the export capacity, particularly in processing and packing of Afghanistan’s products.
