The Foreign Secretary said today that a team from the Chinese Commerce Ministry and Development Bank is in India now to discuss trade deficit and come up with a five-year trade development plan.
The team will also be shown some sites for the Chinese industrial park. The Foreign Secretary added that Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra and Tamil Nadu are among those States that have shown interest in having the park.
On Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh's visit to Colombo for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meet in early November, the Foreign Secretary said that there is no decision yet. " Decision will be taken closer to date (of the Summit) after taking into account foreign policy priority and national interest," the Foreign Secretary said.
