New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday welcomed the framework for the Interim Trade Agreement between India and the United States, calling it a major catalyst for strengthening the Make in India initiative and generating employment. Emphasising the growing economic synergy between the two countries, Modi said the agreement reflects mutual trust and a shared commitment to expanding trade and investment.
According to government sources, the interim framework is designed to improve market access, streamline trade procedures, and deepen cooperation in key sectors such as manufacturing, energy, technology, and services.
