CII international undertakes activities to connect Indian business with global business. Such activities include meeting the Heads of State and Government, decision-makers, networking with counterpart organisations, multilateral and academic institutions and other policy making bodies.

The set-up of nine overseas offices helps CII to disseminate vital information related to markets and joint venture possibilities to Indian and foreign companies. International events are organised as a part of its global business networking initiatives.

Trade fairs, seminars, overseas missions, and conferences also develop strong contacts. Meetings with visiting Heads of State and Government and high-level ministerial delegations are held for Indian industry regularly.

Recently, CII has serviced over 200 business delegations into India, comprising more than 2000 businessmen and has taken 50 Trade Missions out of India. This exchange has resulted in the signing of 71 MoUs.

CII's International Department is committed to stepping up its engagement with the world on a wide range of issues that it identifies as being national priorities of corporate India'.
