New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said he highlighted India’s growing strengths as a global hub for talent, innovation and business services, and the potential for deeper India-US business partnerships.
During his US visit, the minister met several global leaders and CEOs.
