AIIGMA in Toronto! Day 2 of the India-Canada Business Delegation meetings and the momentum only grows stronger.
AIIGMA is proud to be part of one of the largest-ever Business Delegations from India to Canada, led by Hon'ble Commerce & Industry Minister @PiyushGoyal — a historic moment for Indian industry on the global stage.
On Day 1, Hon'ble Maninder Sidhu, @MSidhuLiberal Minister of International Trade of Canada, set the tone with a powerful address:
"The world is being reshaped. Supply chains are shifting, old assumptions are breaking down. Canada made a deliberate choice — we are not going to wait out the uncertainty. We are going to lean in."
And perhaps his most defining line:
"If you're not at the table, you are on the menu. And Canada is certainly at the table."
With trade powering 70% of Canada's economy and Canada negotiating more trade agreements than at any point in its history, this delegation continues to open significant opportunities for India's industrial gases sector to build bilateral partnerships and establish itself as a credible global player.

Heartfelt thanks to Hon'ble PM @narendramodi ji for reducing GST on Medical Oxygen from 12% to 5%
These next-generation #GSTReforms will make life-saving oxygen more affordable & accessible, strengthening India's healthcare infrastructure.
