Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said the pact will unlock unprecedented opportunities for farmers, MSMEs, entrepreneurs and skilled workers, support Make in India and Design in India initiatives, and help India access advanced U.S. technology. The deal aims to strengthen bilateral economic ties and boost global competitiveness. (PC: India Today)
