The High Commissioner said that the event would present business opportunities for the incredible prospects here in India for joint ventures and collaborations.

He recalled the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Trinidad and Tobago and said, "Prime Minister Modi came to Trinidad and Tobago recently in a very important and very impactful visit and pledged assistance to Trinidad and Tobago and the rest of the CARICOM countries in areas including pharmaceutical industries, the biotechnology industries, agriculture, and a wide range of other areas where India wants to help Trinidad and Tobago in".

New Export Strategy for India

He underlined that Trinidad and Tobago has some niche products in niche areas, which could be successful in India and said that this would help in improving the trade-balance with India. "It's time for us to export to India. I know that Gen Z, which is the largest young population in the world, are displaying a preference for new, innovative products, for new tastes in fashion, music, food, and lifestyle. This is the time for us to make an impact with our exports into India."
