“Logistics isn’t just an industry; it’s a crucial driver of economic growth,” stated India’s Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, in an exclusive interview with Khaleej Times. He emphasized the UAE as a prime example of how logistics can powerfully transform economies and generate jobs.
Goyal underscored the significant partnership between India and the UAE in the logistics sector, highlighting their pact as a gateway to Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. He described logistics as the focal point of their economic agenda, focusing on job creation and cost reduction in the movement of goods to enhance global competitiveness.
Despite challenges posed by global factors, India and the UAE have witnessed increased trade, with DP World playing a vital role as a leading logistics facilitator.
