ITALY: PM SAYS INDIA A PART OF GLOBAL STRATEGY

Italian prime minister Romano Prodi said on Tuesday that India is a part of Italy's global strategy for gaining market access in the Asian region. Speaking in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, Prodi said although the European Union was large, there was still a need to go global. "Today Europe is a domestic market. We need to go global," Prodi was quoted as saying in a report on the Press Trust of India. He was speaking at an economic forum entitled "Indo-Italian Synergy: Destination West Bengal", which is a part of his five-day visit to the country.

The forum in Kolkata focussed on the small and medium enterprises of both Italy and India and was reportedly attended by 400 Italian delegates including Italy's minister for international trade, Emma Bonino.
