With the aim to boost bilateral investments and to strengthen economic relationship, India and China have agreed to establish a joint working group. At the ninth session of the India-China Joint Group on Economic Relations, Trade, Science and Technology, both countries also agreed to work on a five-year plan to address all trade-related issues, including the widening trade balance between the two countries.
In the meeting India raised concerns over widening trade deficit in favour of China and restricted market access in areas such as IT, pharmaceutical and agricultural products. India also pointed that non-tariff barriers by China to discourage imports is a major concern for Indian exporters. India also reemphasized on its invitation for leading Chinese companies to set up manufacturing bases in India.
The Chinese Trade Minister expressed hope of achieving $100-billion trade target by 2013. The total bilateral trade between India and China for 2011-12, stood at $75,457.42 million as compared with $59,000.36 million in 2010-11. During 2011-12, the exports were $17,902.98 million while the imports stood at $57,554.44 million. The provisional trade deficit for 2011-12 was $39,651.46 million.
