Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US has been successful with several substantial outcomes in defence acquisitions, technology and investments, said Subhrakant Panda, president of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

The cooperation between the US Small Business Administration and India’s Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Ministry will also be very beneficial for Indian entrepreneurs, Panda observed.
