Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV) and Indian Chemical Council (ICC-Southern Region), in collaboration with The Henry L. Stimson Center (USA), are organizing a one-day workshop on “Secure Trade and Transfers of Chemical: Regulations & Good Practices in India”. The workshop has been scheduled for 28.07.2022 in Chennai, India.

The workshop aims to enhance awareness among the chemical industry segments of the applicable domestic and international laws governing trade in chemicals, particularly dual-use items, i.e., have legitimate civilian use but can also be adapted for weapons-related use. The workshop shall also illustrate how higher standards of export control compliance will help the companies move up the value chain in their operations, access advanced technology and equipment, forge deeper international partnerships, enhance their footprint and market share, and in the process contribute to the overarching goals of the Make in India campaign.

Officials from competent Government of India agencies, including Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) [Ministry of Commerce & Industry, MoC&I], Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals (DCPC) [Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, MoC&F], Disarmament & International Security Affairs (D&ISA) [Ministry of External Affairs, MEA], along with select subject matter experts from India and USA, will make presentations and conduct interactive sessions.
