New Delhi, Sep 10
Economists on Wednesday praised positive developments in the India-US trade talks, saying it has sent a clear message to the world that India is a serious player.
They underlined that India's economy is growing and that it needs to be acknowledged as a vital component of international trade.
"In the last decade, India-US relations have strengthened significantly. The 50 per cent tariff imposed on India in August could have posed challenges, but Trump’s reference to Modi as a ‘good friend’ indicates hope for constructive solutions in the ongoing trade discussions," he added.
Sarkar expressed confidence that India would be able to resolve its export-related concerns through these negotiations.
With strong international partnerships, India can position itself as a global economic powerhouse, he added.
