Union Minister for Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal, on Thursday, inaugurated the 43rd edition of the India International Trade Fair (IITF) at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India has been growing rapidly over the last few years since the country has become an attractive and preferred destination, Minister for Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal said today.
Addressing the 4th edition of the India-Korea Business Partnership Forum organised by CII-KITA, he invited South Korean entrepreneurs to invest in new sectors like Defence and Retail. “We need to complement our complementary strengths in Automobiles, Textiles, Food processing, Leather Products, Metals, Mining, Chemicals and also through some of our traditional sectors like Steel and look at new emerging opportunities in Defence, e-Commerce and Retail.”
Goyal said during the Covid19 pandemic, India has demonstrated its resilience, its capacity to serve the world and its capabilities in terms of being a trusted partner for businesses around the world. “We are widely recognised today as the pharmacy of the world providing medicines and vaccines across continents,” he added.

We are leveraging our strengths to realise the goal of AtmaNirbhar Bharat, a self-confident and self-reliant India…”
