RIYADH, 27 March 2008 — Profiles of more than 200 Indian companies were exhibited at the India Catex 2008 that was inaugurated by Hussein Al-Athel, secretary general of the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry here yesterday.
The Indian Embassy in association with the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized the catalog show.
