Introduction
Reminiscence of TAB 2013
A bond between countries is a
key to trade between them, be it

scale. In today's world, relation
building is the way forward. Be

plan to expand, the Asian Arab
Chamber of Commerce provides
you with a platform to reach up
and grab the trade opportunity
with both hands.
TAB 2013 was a wonderful blend of new ideas as well as informative discussions from well
experienced personalities in the Trade & Finance sectors.
One of the objectives of this
conference is to promote
bilateral trade between India,
Asia and Arab Countries. It is
vital to broaden this enterprise
