Having just spent a few days in the US and Brazil, I am heartened by the fact that our trading partners and potential investors still continue to focus on India's longer term and enduring structural strengths. India is seen as a strongly growing economy, which has run into some temporary headwinds from which recovery will be sooner rather than later. These sentiments were universally expressed by both Brazilian businessmen and senior political leaders in their interaction with the delegation of Indian CEOs led by Minister for Commerce, Industry and Textiles, Mr. Anand Sharma, on his rushed yet successful visit to Brasilia, Rio and Sao Paulo.
