'Make in India' epitomises challenges to trade relationship: US Tue, Apr 6 2021 14:57 IST | 2 Views
New Delhi, April 6 : The United States has said that the recent Indian emphasis on import substitution through a "Make in India" campaign has epitomised the challenges facing the bilateral trade relationship. These comments are part of the "2021 Trade Policy Agenda and 2020 Annual Report" released by the US Trade Representative. As per the document, during 2020, the United States continued its engagement with India to try to resolve longstanding market access impediments affecting U.S. exporters. "While India's large market, economic growth, and progress towards development make it an essential market for many U.S. exporters, a general and consistent trend of trade-restrictive policies have inhibited the potential of the bilateral trade relationship," the document said.
