The International Mining and Machinery Exhibition (IMME) would start here from tomorrow, with participation from over 22 countries including Afghanistan.

Former president of CII Rajive Kaul said that more than 230 overseas companies would take part in the four-day expo.

He said that Afghanistan's minister for mines Wahidullah Shahrani, Coal Minister Sri Prakash Jaiswal, Canada's Deputy Minister for mines and forestry David O-Toole and Australia's Parliament Secretary Justine Elliot would deliberate at the exhibition's conference sessions.

The exhibition would showcase the wide range of mining equipment manufactured by domestic and overseas companies, he told reporters here today.
