Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal today said that India must expand its economy and create more employment opportunities by boosting exports. Chairing the fourth meeting of the Board of Trade (BoT) in New Delhi, Mr Goyal called for a Strong Centre-State partnership to boost India’s export growth.
The Minister also highlighted the resilient performance of the Indian economy amid global volatility and reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to accelerating export growth. Mr Goyal stated that the landlocked States will enhance their competitiveness in the export sector under the Export Promotion Mission. He further stressed the need for high-quality standards and best-practice sharing to strengthen India’s export reputation.
The Board of Trade, reconstituted in 2019 through the merger of the Council for Trade Development and Promotion with the BoT, serves as the apex advisory body on policy measures related to the Foreign Trade Policy aimed at strengthening India’s trade ecosystem.
