Contact FICCI
The Multilateral Division of FICCI works to strengthen economic relations and build new connects by leveraging the synergy of regional and multilateral groupings. This is done at B2B and track 1.5 formats. Economic conferences and programmes have substantive backing from continuous intellectual effort and industry focused research through industry committees, working groups and special Task Forces.
At the Multilateral level, FICCI holds the Business Secretariat for BRICS, Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), ASEAN India Business Council (AIBC). FICCI is also one of the Founding Organisations for SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Boao Forum, CACCI. In addition, FICCI has spearheaded several initiatives in other key areas in alignment with India’s Foreign Policy objectives such as BIMSTEC and Blue Economy.
The objective of Multilateral Division is also to expand the outreach of FICCI by collaborating with multilateral and bilateral agencies in a focused way and by creating joint engagements in line with the identified priorities of the partner institutions. The division is the first point of contact for multilateral and bilateral agencies interested to work with different divisions of FICCI as well as for connecting various in-house verticals with global and regional institutions. Some of our partner institutions include ADB, World Bank, IMF, UNDP, KAF, FES, FNST and GIZ. The Division also contributes to evolving private sector’s perspective on global and regional public policy and economic issues. The Division also works as the central team in FICCI's International Department and supports coordination of key engagements including the work of FICCI's International Council.
Vision, Mission and Objectives of the Division
- Study India’s present multilateral engagement and economic diplomacy and chart the future course in the medium and long run through industry focused initiatives
- Design a comprehensive and pragmatic vision for India’s multilateral engagement and economic diplomacy
- Engage FICCI members through various multilateral platforms for business expansion and networking, identify and promote growing business opportunities in multilateral groupings and understand concerns and critical issues that impact business decision making
