the level of Economic and Trade Cooperation between the two countries.
He said that the complementarities in our economies and human
resources could be synergized for greater mutual benefit. The rapid
growth of the Indian economy even during the global downturn and the
increased potential of Bulgaria as a member of the European Union hold
great opportunities for the further expansion of the trade and
economic partnerships between the two countries, he said.

technology, SMEs, energy especially NRE, engineering goods and
tourism, agriculture and Information Technology. Shri Scindia said
that the next big opportunity for growth lies in the rural hinterland
of India. He said the Indian government was making all out efforts to
improve infrastructure and enhance economic viability of farming
especially for small and marginal farmers. He invited the Bulgarian
expertise in farming and post harvest processing to increase value
additions in the food sector. In the Information Technology sector,
Shri Scindia affirmed India's competence in e-governance, software
technology parks, and ICT led education and learning and identified it
as a sector for greater cooperation with Bulgaria. Both sides agreed
to pursue specific tangible opportunities beneficial to both countries
