 "WEF 2022: DPITT sends delegation with agenda to increase India's exposure")
As the Swiss ski resort town Davos begins its World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting yet again after a hiatus of two years, India has taken an initiative to have a consolidated marquee presence to increase the country's exposure and attract investment opportunities.
The initiative taken by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPITT) under the Ministry of Commerce is for representing India's position as an important stakeholder shaping the global narrative, as India assumes the presidency of the G20 in 2023.
