EEPC
Fostering international partnerships in defense will not only strengthen security ties but also lead to greater economic prosperity to both nations. During the trip we also visited Government institution EEPC - Engineering Export Promotion Council of India and talked with esteemed Director of Trade Mr. Gurvinder Singh. EEPC India has been the face of Indian engineering exports over a span of 67 years when India grew from a nation exporting just $10 million of engineering goods in 1955 to $112 billion in 2021-22 and is regarded as the model EPC in India by the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry. We decided to sign MOU about cooperation which will come to life soon.
