  "summary": "India's Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stated that India opposes linking the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) status to voluntary or selective WTO rules at the G20 Trade Ministers Meeting Session.\n\nGoyal also mentioned that India does not have structural excess manufacturing capacity in sectors identified by the G20 Presidency, according to The Economic Times - Economy. He added that India's manufacturing capacity serves both domestic and global needs.\n\nThe minister further noted that diversification of production and supply chains is a legitimate objective, but it cannot be used as a pretext for measures outside WTO rules or shifting the burden of adjustment onto developing countries.",
