India today urged China to open its huge markets to Indian IT and pharma products to bring about balance in bilateral trade.
"I believe the Chinese side is aware of our market access concerns," said Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia at the first Strategic Economic Dialogue (SED) between the two countries here.
Praising the giant strides made by China in its economic development, he said that India looks to China to open its markets for IT and Pharma.
"Taking a strategic view of our relationship, I hope that they would consider a more positive approach in sectors like IT and Pharmaceuticals, where I believe India’s competitiveness is not in doubt, and where there is great unrealised potential," said Ahluwalia.
Although the bilateral trade crossed USD 61 billion this year, India was left with deficit of over USD 40.9 billion due to accelerated exports from China.
