Our focus remains on delivering seamless, secure, and scalable attestation services that support individuals and enterprises alike.”
“This DGFT recognition is a major institutional milestone that reinforces IACCIA’s role as a trusted bridge for commercial exchanges between India and the Arab world. Combined with our partnership with BLS International, we will now be able to expand service reach significantly and provide seamless support to businesses on both sides. This will further strengthen connectivity and open new avenues for trade and investment,” added Awwad, Secretary General (In-charge) of IACCIA.
