India Trade Promotion Organisation is organising participation of Indian industry in the 14 th Global Indian Festival 2016(GIF) from June 1 - 5, 2016 at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Global Indian Festival has been rated as the largest exhibition of its kind in the Asia pacific region and a one stop exhibition showcasing the wide varieties of India's ethnic colour and life.

Besides, there will be specific podiums showcasing tourism, arts & culture, fashion & handicrafts. Various fashion shows are also scheduled during the event. The Show attracted over 3,00,000 visitors not only from Malaysia but also international visitors specifically from the Asian region.

Malaysia has one of the largest communities of person of Indian origin in the world, numbering close to two million (about 7% of Malaysia's population), which provide immense scope for Indian lifestyle products. The signing of India-Malaysia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) in February 2011 was an important milestone in the trade and economic relations between the two countries.

This agreement came into effect from July 2011, but even in the short period, the benefits are evident in the increase in bilateral trade from US$ 10.39 billion in 2010- 11 to US$ 13.43 billion in 2013-14. With growing business between India and Malaysia, the trade ties between the two countries reached $14 billion during 2014-15. It is expected that the India-Malaysia CECA will facilitate and encourage further expansion of trade and economic cooperation between the two countries. The Indian industry could use these opportunities for enhancing interaction and building partnership through participation in GIF.
