Piyush Goyal calls for increasing India's share in global trade to 10%

Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday called for increasing India's share in global trade to 10 per cent and taking the country's share of exports in GDP to about 25 per cent.

Goyal was addressing the closing session of the Post-Budget Webinar on "Make in India for the World."

Speaking at the occasion, the Union Minister said "These are ambitious targets, but I think doable. Today other countries are also talking of programmes very similar to Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. And I think there can be no better endorsement of the importance and the success of this vision than the fact that the world today wants to emulate the India story."

Goyal called for taking India among the top three nations in Global Services Trade. He called for supporting MSMEs in foreign trade, besides creating top 10 research and development labs and innovation centres to position India as a leader in technology during the next 25 years.
