Philippe Delcourt, trade commissioner, South East Asia, Wallonia Trade and Foreign Investment Agency, said the country would help the park in developing designs and offering services of experts.

Michel Kempeneers of the agency said they were keen on importing home furnishing from India and hoped that the park would meet most of their requirements. He said they could even buy the entire production of the park. Dr. Mathivanan said the park had a capacity to weave one lakh metres a day. He said the looms in which the home furnishing would be woven were manufactured in Belgium.
