Spokesman Chong Quan of the Ministry of Commerce expressed his perplexity on 15TH June 16, 2006 at a press conference over Indian government's obstruction of a Chinese company bidding for civil airport projects. The Shenzhen CIMC-Tianda Airport Support Company was said to have been seeded as the best tenderer in a public bidding for the construction of 17 lunge bridges of the Indian Airport Administration.
"We couldn't understand the relevant departments of India who set a ban on this company for security reasons," said Chong, adding that the experienced CIMC-Tianda has undertaken a number of lunge bridge construction projects in India.
He said China hoped India could rectify its misbehavior and revise relevant policies to create a fair and just business environment for Chinese companies.
"While India speeds up its infrastructure facility development, Chinese companies experienced in the construction of airports, roads, bridges, power stations and telecommunications can provide services of better quality on a relatively lower price," he said.
Chong noted that China and India has established a strategic and cooperative relations toward peace and prosperity and maintain a strong momentum in trade and diplomacy.
This year, trade volume of the two countries is expected to top 20 billion U.S. dollars. |
