ICC to discuss Asia

NEW DELHI (AFP): Business and investment opportunities in Asia
will be the focus of a major conference to be staged here next
month by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the
organizers said yesterday.

About 200 delegates from overseas will join 400 Indian
counterparts at the two-day conference starting March 27, the
theme of which would be "Dynamic Asia: Event of the Decade," the
Indian national committee of the ICC said in a statement here.

Delegates will review the performance of Asian countries in
creating a friendly climate for foreign investment by reducing
government intervention and offering tax breaks and other
incentives.

The spread of deregulation and privatization and new market
challenges and opportunities in the continent will be discussed.

Delegates will assess prospects for stronger commercial ties
between North America and the Pacific Rim countries as the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation forum develops.
