PM Modi Ka Exactly Kya Kehna Tha?

Modi ne kaha:

"Humare trade agreements ne sirf government-to-government baat nahi ki — unhonne real entrepreneurs ke liye real markets khole hain. Ek chhota manufacturer Abudhabi se lekar London tak apna product bhej sakta hai bina extra duty ke."

Unhone khaas taur par textile sector ko highlight kiya — jo directly Fibre2Fashion audience ko target karta hai. Indian textile exports $50 billion cross karne wale hain 2026-27 mein, pehli baar.
