The positivity that we witness across the world for India is unbelievable, the value and respect of the Indian passport is unparalleled.""If you all pledge to deliver you can convert all our dreams into reality," he added.Expressing his happiness at seeing a good number of women officers, Goyal said, "It is, indeed, heartening to see the number of women who have been selected as it reflects the New India and the Nari Shakti of today.""The new India is inclusive and works with a whole government approach. There will be opportunities galore to contribute to nation-building and you will be contributing to our efforts in negotiating Free Trade Agreements with our important trading partners," he said, adding, "Recently, we completed a Free Trade negotiation in a record 88 days all because of the contribution and dedication of everyone who was associated with the process, including the Indian Foreign Serve officers posted in Commerce Ministry."Goyal pointed out that the Foreign and Commerce ministries were working closely together."Trade and investment are areas where we are dependent on each other.
