India and Oman Team Up for Better Business

India just made a big move to strengthen its ties with Oman. They signed a deal to make trade and investment between the two countries easier. This is a smart move for India, as Oman is a key player in the Middle East, especially when it comes to oil. The Strait of Hormuz, which is right by Oman, is a super important route for oil ships. India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, was in Oman to seal the deal. He's been traveling around, visiting Ethiopia and Jordan too. This new pact is a big deal for India. It's their second one this year, after the UK. It's all about finding new markets for Indian goods, especially since the U. S. has been making things tough with high tariffs.The U. S. has been putting up trade barriers, making it harder for India to export goods. They even doubled duties on Indian goods to 50%. This is the highest in the world. The U. S. did this because India bought oil from Russia. But India hasn't been able to make a deal with the U. S. or the EU this year, so they're looking elsewhere. This deal with Oman is a good step for India. It's all about finding new opportunities and making the most of their relationships with other countries. It's a way to keep growing and stay strong in the global market.
