Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has called upon Indian missions to play an important role in identifying business opportunities for domestic companies, exporters and make India a preferred investment destination. The minister, along with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, was interacting with 131 missions from different geographies. Missions need to start networking, communicating with companies, come up with business leads and new contacts, and identify technology which can be implemented in India and fight for India in their countries..
All the missions have been asked to send a proposal to look at the opportunity post COVID-19. The proposal should have innovative ideas and should be submitted, containing suggestions to improve the exports. Goyal said that all should work to convert this COVID-19 situation into an opportunity by coming up with new reforms to improve domestic industries.
He said around 100 countries have benefited from Indian pharma. He added all nations are searching for countries which have a transparent dealing, rule of law, and are reliable. He said ‘Indian missions should help us with identification of business opportunities that exist in their countries.’ Further, he said the Department for Promotion of Investment and Internal Trade is working to create a genuine single window for setting up factories and manufacturing units.
