The event aims to foster global economic growth by reducing trade barriers, increasing productivity, and embracing inclusive trade practices.

In his address, Minister Goyal urged G20 members and invitees to collaborate on tangible outcomes that address challenges related to the multilateral trading system, inclusive trade, and ease of business. The TIMM has concentrated its discussions on shared resolutions, focusing on fair and sustainable trade policies.

The three core sessions of TIMM include discussions on Multilateral Trade for Global Growth and  Prosperity, Inclusive and  Resilient Trade, and Leveraging Technology for Paperless Trade. These sessions aim to address contemporary global challenges and generate impactful solutions.

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.
