He also emphasised India's commitment to a rules-based, non-discriminatory, and open multilateral trading system, with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) highlighted as a core element as well as expressed opposition to protectionist actions, unilateral sanctions, and trade restrictions that may impact global sustainable development.
