Delegates from the Indo-Canadian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) visiting Chennai in India's Tamil Nadu state have bemoaned the poor state of trade between the two countries.

Naval Bajaj, president of the ICCC, said, "There is a 1.2 million-strong Indian diaspora in Canada that is immensely interested n doing business in India. Presently, the Canada-India trade, which is to the tune of $5 billion, is well below potential."

Bajaj said two-way trade could quickly reach $15 billion with the economic partnership agreement.
