    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Jan 21 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday said that although India maintains ongoing engagement with major global powers, the World Economic Forum (WEF) serves mainly as a forum for dialogue and exchange of ideas, not for conducting formal trade negotiations between nations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Davos Focused on Panels and Bilateral Interactions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The format of Davos is one where we generally participate in panels and bilateral interactions. Trade meetings take place according to countries own schedules and negotiation frameworks. This is not a forum where delegation-to-delegation trade talks are held, the minister said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;He added that India is deeply engaged with all major economies across multiple areas through established diplomatic and economic channels, reported ANI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Indias Growth Story Draws Global Attention&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Vaishnaw said Indias economic progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership has become a major focus of discussions among global leaders at the forum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;He added that the Indian delegation is actively engaging in key sessions to showcase how the country is using modern technology to drive inclusive and equitable growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;WEF 2026 Underway in Davos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum is taking place in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from January 19 to 23, 2026, bringing together nearly 3,000 participants from over 130 countries, including a record number of global leaders, CEOs, innovators and policymakers, under the theme A Spirit of Dialogue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
