@Bharatiya29: Thanks for your review. I have tweaked the hook. Though original hook is ok, still I can provide alternative hook after comparing 9.52 and 167.49 figures. It shows that trade between in India and Laos has been increased by 17.59 times. So this hook actually says that trade between in India and Laos is increaed by 17 times from 2008 to 2013, this is what makes it interesting. Though there is no direct source stating trade is increased by 17 times still we can calculate it from available figures. I am happy with original hook still to simplify hook we can say that trade is increased by 17 times.

ALT1: ... that bilateral trade between India and Laos was increased by 17 times between 2008 to 2013?

I leave it to promoter and community to choose the hook, alternative hook is just to avoid complicated figures. Thank you.--Human3015^TALK 17:22, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
