He drew attention to India's PM GatiShakti initiative, which utilises GIS data to improve infrastructure and logistics planning. Goyal also stressed the need for WTO reforms that reflect the evolving global economic landscape and promote inclusivity.

He concluded by highlighting G20's collaborative spirit, noting that its decisions significantly impact economies, livelihoods, and the world's future.
