“We arranged this leadership meeting between the Philippines’ and India’s industry associations as it is important that both IBPAP and NASSCOM work together to discuss and further common interests in order to address new and emerging global challenges faced by the industry as a whole and to sustain the industry’s sustainability in today’s economic landscape,” said Philippine Commercial Counsellor Michael Alfred Ignacio, who heads the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in New Delhi.
