India Aims to Transform Global South Trade Framework
India wants to help countries in the 'Global South' (like those in Africa and Asia) become better at trading.
Instead of just following the rules set by others, India wants these nations to create their own trade paths.
This means improving shipping, storage, and training so goods can be traded more easily.
India believes this will make these countries more competitive and give them more power in the world.
India aims to build a cooperative trade framework for the Global South.
The goal is to help Southern producers become more competitive.
India intends to balance reacting to unfair measures with taking initiative in trade.
This involves improving shipping, warehousing, and financial systems.
The plan is to transform the Global South from rule-takers to rule-shapers in trade.
