Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal (pictured) said the government aims to expand trade in energy products with the US over the coming years. Speaking in New York, he said: “The world recognises that this (energy security) is one area where we all have to work together. We are big importers of energy from across the world, including from the US. We expect to increase our trade to the US in energy products in the years to come.”
