The Conference purported to offer “a unique opportunity to gain crucial insight into the Iranian market and the networking with leading Iranian companies is not to be missed.” (http://www.hitechoverseas.com/distributors-dealers-traders-india/Pipes-Jindal-India-Jindal-Steel-India-Jindal-Group/Jindal-Saw-Limited.htm)
