Kochi, Aug 31 (UNI) The Cochin Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry will jointly organise two seminars here on September four to explore areas of bilateral economic collaboration.

While the first seminar would focus on the tourism sector the other will explore trade and industrial collaboration, Cochin Chamber of Commerce and Industry Secretary Eapen Kalapurakal said in a statement here today.

In recent years, there had been growing cooperation between India and Italy in trade and commerce. Kerala has traditionally been engaged with Italy in areas such as agriculture, rubber, marine products, coir and spices.

Also, the presence of Italian companies was seen in India in areas such as services, engineering, environment, infrastructure and food processing, he said.

Eminent speakers, representing various sectors from both the regions will address the seminars, he added.
