“We have set the goal of duplicating our bilateral trade to reach 500,000 million dollars in 2030. Our teams will work to conclude a mutually beneficial commercial agreement very soon to ensure the energy security of India, “Modi said in one of his interventions.
This agreement will focus on a greater purchase of oil and gas by India to reduce commercial imbalance with the US, which despite its main commercial partner of New Delhi, there is a deficit of 50,000 million dollars in favor of the Asian country.
