Goyal even tagged the article with his tweet.
“One year since we signed the #IndiaUAECEPA. In this article jointly written with UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade @ThaniAlZeyoudi, we highlight how the deal is a turning point in our economic ties & a model for cross-border collaboration,” Goyal had tweeted on Saturday.
Goyal along with UAE’s minister wrote in the article that “by reducing tariff on more than 80 per cent of product lines, enhancing market access to service exports and providing platform for SMEs to collaborate and scale, both the countries have envisioned a new era of opportunity in an uncertain world”.
