Union Minister Piyush Goyal's visit to Saudi Arabia focused on unveiling the 'One District One Product' Wall, boosting India-made products globally, and fortifying economic ties through dialogues with professionals. Celebrating Diwali with the diaspora, Goyal underscored mutual cultural and economic collaboration under PM Modi's leadership.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal, on a diplomatic mission to Saudi Arabia, inaugurated the 'One District One Product' (ODOP) Wall at the Indian Embassy in Riyadh. This initiative aims to showcase Indian craftsmanship on a global stage, transforming districts across India into production hubs under the 'Made in India' banner.

By collaborating with international retail chains, ODOP seeks not only to enhance the global visibility of Indian goods but also to generate long-term livelihoods for artisans. In a significant move to further India-Saudi economic ties, Goyal met with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India chapter, urging them to strengthen bilateral relations through best practices.

The visit coincided with Diwali celebrations and the closing ceremony of Pravasi Parichay, an initiative reconnecting the Indian diaspora with their roots. Minister Goyal praised the diaspora's economic contributions and their role as cultural ambassadors, highlighting India's rapid economic growth and ongoing efforts to enhance strategic partnerships with Saudi Arabia.
