Canada has evinced keen interest in investing and catalysing investments in Haryana.

A delegation of the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) led by its president Kanwar Dhanjal called on Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar here today and invited him and officers of the state government to visit Canada for furthering the relationship and exploring investment opportunities in Canada.

Stating that his government would provide all possible facilitation to investors, the Chief Minister laid emphasis on such projects and sectors as would not only generate investments but also create employment avenues and ensure balanced growth of the state.

A mechanism should be put in place to ensure continuous dialogue between the two sides. Being priority sectors, skill development and agro and food processing offered great potential in Haryana. The state is keen on supporting and promoting the agriculture sector by way of assured pricing and development of the food processing sector, he added.

Dhanjal said the ICCC was a non-profit and non-partisan organisation founded more than four decades ago. Its mission included promoting business, professional, and general well-being of Indo-Canadians, creating positive awareness of high degree of contribution of the Indo-Canadian business and professional community, facilitating business and trade opportunities between Canada and India, and Indian diaspora throughout the world.
