“Sectoral diversification is crucial so that we can move beyond the traditional areas of trade. High-end manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, digital engagement, digital public infrastructure and artificial intelligence, all of these are necessary for building a future-ready business environment. Therefore, strengthening institutional frameworks will be essential along with the removal of non-tariff barriers and entering into robust trade agreements,” said Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Minister for Commerce & Industry, Government of India, at the Special Ministerial Session on Strengthening India-LAC Partnerships in a Changing Global Environment at the CII India-LAC Conclave held today in New Delhi.
