Gujarat should think of promoting themselves in Canada for business investments, said Ms Ingrid Hall, the director general of the department of foreign affairs and international trade, Canada on Monday.

She was speaking at a meeting with the members of the Gujarat chapter of Confederation of Indian Industry.

Ms Hall said that business should be left to business only and government intervention should be only that of a facilitator. She said that Gujaratis should learn to promote and projects themselves in Canada.
