Saint Paul, MN:    A delegation of the India Chamber of Commerce met with U S Senator Amy Klobuchar to discuss US-India business and trade relations.

Chamber members shared with the Senator the Global Village initiative to create a free trade zone in Minnesota and a space for US and Indian companies to do business more effectively in both countries. Senator Klobuchar was also interested in the newly launched Women’s Business Council - a networking forum for female entrepreneurs and professionals.
