New Delhi, May 29: Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday said he engaged with more than 50 global business and industry leaders at a roundtable in New York aimed at strengthening India-US economic ties and promoting investment opportunities in India.
The interaction was hosted by the Consulate General of India in New York in collaboration with the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), bringing together business leaders from multiple sectors to discuss trade and investment opportunities.
Sharing details on social media, Goyal highlighted India’s strong economic growth trajectory, reform-oriented policy environment and expanding opportunities for international investors under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Discussions centred on deepening India-US collaboration in trade, investment, innovation and resilient supply chains, with the minister emphasising the potential for shared economic growth and stronger commercial partnerships.
The New York engagement forms part of India’s broader economic diplomacy push, as the government intensifies outreach with key global partners to attract investments and expand market access.
Earlier this week, Goyal noted that India-Canada bilateral trade currently stands at around $8.5 billion, with both countries committed to scaling it up to $50 billion by 2030 through stronger economic engagement and trade negotiations.
His recent Canada visit, covering Ottawa and Toronto, focused on strengthening bilateral trade and accelerating talks on the India-Canada Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
The minister has also continued sector-specific engagements with global corporations. Earlier in May, he held discussions with a delegation led by Jeff Shockey, Executive Vice President for Government Operations, Global Public Policy and Corporate Strategy at Boeing, exploring areas of strategic and industrial cooperation.
The latest roundtable reflects India’s sustained effort to position itself as a preferred global investment destination while reinforcing strategic trade partnerships with major economies.
