India expanding trade footprint to strengthen global ties and empower MSMEs: Piyush Goyal

India is increasing its network of free trade agreements (FTAs) to integrate deeply with global economies. Nine trade pacts covering 38 developed economies have been concluded in the past four and a half years.

India is wrapping up deals with Canada and UK alongside energy deals with GCC and trade relations in West Asia and Americas.
