Canada is seeking to boost its presence in Asia. Two-way trade between Canada and India reached $5.2 billion last year, up more than 28 percent from 2010. Total Canadian investment in India is estimated at about $4.3 billion, India's External Affairs Ministry said. Harper said both sides expect trade will triple to $15 billion by 2015. Canada mainly exports vegetables, fertilizer, machinery and wood pulp, while its main imports from India are organic chemicals, knit and woven apparel, precious stones and metals, electronics and machinery. Harper is to visit Bangalore, a center of India's information technology industry, before finishing his six-day visit to India on Friday.
