Grammar
"Looking to" and "looking forward to" ?
Hello,
It seems we can write :
"The company is LOOKING TO increase its sales in Asia."
whereas we have to write :
"I am LOOKING forward TO seeing you soon"
So why don't we say : "is looking to increasing" ?

That's because one looks forward to an event, and "seeing you again" describes an event, whereas one is looking to action, and "increase its sales in Asia" describes an action, not an event.
