The two chairmen, Sisir Dev Kalita (ACC) and Khekugha (CNCCI), also announced the formation of a committee comprised of all chambers of commerce from the eight northern states to promote trade and commerce.

"The two chambers have decided to form a committee in the Assam's Jorhat and Dibrugarh and Karbi Anglong districts to ensure that business is not disrupted even in the event of border disputes, since disputes are to be resolved by the governments of Assam and Nagaland," a statement said.
