To further boost bilateral economic ties with the US, Confederation of Indian Industry would organise a series of road shows, 'IndiaConnect-USA', from April 8-18.

The road shows are expected to be attended by Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry EVKS Elangovan, Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal besides CII president Sunil K Munjal and secretaries of the ministries of commerce and finance.

The road shows would showcase the export potential of various sectors and would serve as a brand building exercise, CII said in a release on Thursday.

'IndiaConnect-USA' would begin at Seattle and travel across to San Fransisco, Chicago, New York and Washington.
