In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Minister shared his enthusiasm for the interaction at KU Leuven University, stating, "Delighted at the engaging interaction with Indian students of the @KU_Leuven University in Belgium, which also saw the participation of senior faculty members. I spoke about the remarkable growth of India in the last decade driven by structural reforms, innovation & decisive leadership.

During the session, Goyal highlighted India's journey as a global economic powerhouse, driven by decisive leadership, innovative reforms, and a focus on sustainable development.

Students posed questions on a range of topics, including India's trade agreements, its economic growth trajectory, and the efforts to enhance the ease of doing business.

The Minister urged the young minds to contribute to India's progress during the "Amrit Kaal" - the 25-year period leading to the centenary of India's independence.

Goyal also met with the Indian diaspora in Belgium and Luxembourg, emphasizing their pivotal role in India's global narrative.

In his post on X, he wrote, "Indian Diaspora, our strongest Brand Ambassadors had a lively interaction with the Indian community living in Belgium and Luxembourg. It is heartening to see our diaspora excels abroad, holding prominent positions and making a mark for themselves and our nation. Spoke about how PM @NarendraModi ji deeply values their role in India's progress, encouraging them to strengthen their engagement and actively contributing to the vision of building a Viksit Bharat."
