of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, SIAM is organizing the fourth Auto Trade
Dialogue on 8th January 2010 in New Delhi coinciding with Auto Expo 2010
which is being held from 5th – 11th January 2010 in New Delhi.
In the current global economic environment, global integration
is acquiring a new meaning. With increased multilateralization, economies
and industries across the world are intertwined. And India is actively
engaged in discussions at both multilateral and bilateral platforms. Deliberations
and negotiations are on with various countries and regions like Sri Lanka,
Nepal, Singapore, Chile, Thailand, MERCOSUR, Egypt, Japan, EU, China,
GCC, SAFTA and SACU.
The Trade Dialogue would facilitate better understanding
and appreciation of the needs of the automotive industries in individual
countries and regions. It would also enable convergence of Automobile
industry issues across the world and identification of common concerns.
The broad objective
of Auto Trade Dialogue would be to offer a platform to broad based economies
to discuss issues of mutual interests and evolve strategies for addressing:
• Enhancing the understanding of the international trends and
position
• Promoting trade linkages /Building partnerships
• Challenges faced by the automotive industry globally
• Intellectual Property Rights issues
• Convergence of Automobile industry issues across the world –
common concerns.
• Facilitating understanding of various issues including developmental
issues.
• Update on developments (region-wise/ country-wise) in
- Regional and
Bilateral Agreements

especially NAMA and NTBs concerning the auto industry
In the past, we had
the privilege of having participants from various international auto associations
like ATPC, JAMA, VDA, SMMT, TAIA, AFM, AAF, etc and Governments like USA,
