Apr 23, 2022

Washington DC (USA), April 23 (ANI): Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on April 22 (GMT-4), said that India is carving out opportunities from challenging situations as the world continues to face hikes in fuel prices and shortage of food grains amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Addressing a press conference in Washington alongside Indian envoy to US Taranjit Singh Sandhu, Sitharaman said, “India is trying to find a market for its exports and provide meaningful assistance to end hunger.” “...I have voiced that countries like India which has potential for floating its agricultural produce, particularly cereals, have faced difficulties with the WTO. And because of that, the entire plenary was recognizing that there is hunger and shortage of food grains all over the world -- countries like India which can promptly supply are facing difficulties with WTO,” she added.
