Chinese entrepreneur on China-India economic cooperation
( 2003-06-25 10:42) (Xinhua)
India's phenomenal growth in the information technology industry and its
achievements in software design are generating more business opportunities for
Chinese enterprises, said Choi Koon-shun, president of the Hong Kong-based Sun
Wah Group Tuesday.
At the China-India Business Forum held here during Indian Prime Minister Atal
Bihari Vajpayee's visit to China, Choi told Xinhua that, through cooperation
with Indian companies in the software industry, he had succeeded in turning his
group into a high-tech giant.
Last year, former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji, upon returning from a visit to
India, told Chinese high-tech enterprises to learn from their Indian
counterparts, Choi said, adding that he himself traveled to India later to seek
support from the Indian business community.
The Sun Wah Group, once focused on seafood production and real estate,
shifted its focus to high-tech industries in the 1990s and Choi began learning
about software development from the successful experiences of Indian
enterprises.
Through cooperation with Indian QAI software company, his group made
remarkable progress in the information technology industry, he said.
In addition to the booming information industry, India is rich in natural
resources, and enjoys comparative advantages in farm products, automobiles,
petroleum products, the chemical industry and pharmaceuticals, he said.
With the further opening of Chinese markets, bilateral economic and trade
cooperation has huge potential, he said, expressing the belief that Vajpayee's
visit to China will surely contribute to the advancement of cooperative
relations.
