Chandigarh, June 29

With eased visa norms, Slovenia is looking for deepening trade ties with India to increase the bilateral trade between the two countries. Currently, the bilateral trade between the two countries is 316 million euros. It is looking for cooperation with Indian companies in sectors like logistics and transport, automobiles, green technology and renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, ICT and nanotechnology etc.

There is tremendous trade potential that lies untapped between India and Slovenia, said Jozef Drofenik, Ambassador of Slovenia to India, here today. He was answering queries during an interactive session organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “India has emerged a key strategic market. Energy, automotive, electronics and tourism are some of the focus sectors that offer scope for enhancing business relations between the two countries,” the Slovenian Ambassador, who was accompanied by Maja Segota, first counsellor, trade and economic affairs, said.
