Ministry of Trade, Investment and Tourism

The T&T- India Business Federation (TT-IBF) was launched at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Cultural Cooperation this evening. It aims at building stronger business and economic ties between Trinidad and Tobago and India. The event was graced by Senator the Honourable Satyakama Maharaj, Minister of Trade, Investment and Tourism, Honourable Davendranath Tancoo, Minister of Finance, Dr. Pradeep Rajpurohit, High Commissioner of India, Honourable Dr. Neil Colin Gosein, Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Tourism, Dr. Siewnarine Coosal, and Dr. Vaalmikki Arjoon, President of TT-IBF. Also, in attendance were members of the Diplomatic Corps and a large audience including government officials, businessmen and industry stakeholders. The Federation was created to connect companies, investors, and entrepreneurs in both countries, making it easier to form partnerships, explore trade opportunities, and encourage investment. While the two nations share strong historical and cultural links, the TT-IBF focuses on turning those connections into tangible economic results. Through this integration of business network and collaboration, the Federation aims to boost exports, attract new investment, support innovation, and contribute to economic diversification and growth in Trinidad and Tobago, while also expanding India’s commercial presence in the Caribbean. @MEAIndia @PMOIndia @diaspora_india @PIB_India @mygovindia @TradeInvTourism
