The Minister of Commerce and Industry of the Union, Piyush Goyal, on Friday (April 11, 2025) indicated a clear preference for India to work with European and North American partners for international trade instead of China. “Even when I was open [for Chinese firms to invest in India]Not too much Chinese investment has emerged, nor is we encouraging any significant investment that comes from China at this time, “said Goyal, speaking at the Indian Carnegie Global Technology Summit.

Just to meet a deadline, you cannot compromise national interest. “

“There will be two areas in which the European Union will have to withdraw: one is that these non -commercial problems, which consider overlapping the commercial agenda. Unless they obtain that of its system, and the European Commission will need it: White Willegement, anyone that any self -exposure cannot register in the commitments that are the scope of trade, and where the rest of the world has been responsible for the problem in the first place and cannot register in the first place and Kingdom
