Indian Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal invited French businessmen to invest in India highlighting ways to further deepen the India-France partnership and realise the tremendous opportunities it offers.

"I am inviting you to visit India along with your board members. French people can come to India as tourists and investors to get good returns. I invite you (France) to do business with India, increase trade between us and initiate a technology partnership between 2 countries," he said. He further said that India is one of the largest consumers of goods and services.
