Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal said that India is all set to become a provider of telecom services and Indian companies will become providers of high security and quality technological equipment to emerging economies.

According to a Ministry of Commerce and Industry release, Goyal expressed confidence that India in the future will lead international telecom supply chains and urged companies to find solutions to help take telecom to countries still behind in network connectivity.

Addressing the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly and 8th edition of India Mobile Congress in New Delhi on Tuesday, Goyal said, "India has a role to play in making technology available in the Global South and in leading the world in fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to make digital connectivity affordable across the globe."

He added that seamless broadband connectivity across the country has earned India the moniker 'Trusted Partner of the World'. He also highlighted India's stable network connectivity across rural and urban areas as an achievement of the flagship 'Digital India' campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015.

The Union Minister hailed the Prime Minister's foresight of using technology as an enabler for good governance, for providing business opportunities and as an enabler to expand the country's economic activities.
