    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Apr 9 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has called on exporters and businesses in India and the United States to actively utilise the newly launched India-US trade facilitation portal to enhance bilateral trade between the two countries.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
 &lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;strong&gt;Portal Aims To Boost Bilateral Trade And Market Access&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Goyal urged industry bodies, export promotion councils, and chambers of commerce from both nations to integrate the portal into their business operations and use it as a platform to strengthen trade linkages, reported Press Trust of India.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
 &lt;br /&gt;&#13;
He highlighted that India-US bilateral trade is steadily progressing towards the ambitious target of USD 500 billion set by both sides, and emphasised that the portal could serve as a key enabler in achieving this goal.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
 &lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;strong&gt;Platform To Support Exporters Across Sectors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Describing the platform as a runway for domestic services exporters to access the US market, Goyal said it would create opportunities across sectors, benefiting a wide spectrum of stakeholders, from farmers and jewellers to software professionals and pharmaceutical companies.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
 &lt;br /&gt;&#13;
The portal was formally launched by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri during his three-day visit to the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
 &lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;strong&gt;Strengthening India-US Economic Cooperation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
The virtual launch event was attended by Indias Ambassador to the US Vinay Mohan Kwatra, along with officials and trade representatives from both countries.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
 &lt;br /&gt;&#13;
The initiative is aimed at simplifying trade processes, improving access to market information, and fostering closer economic cooperation between India and the US.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
