Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stated that India's decision not to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in 2019 protected the country's manufacturing sector from what he called a 'death knell' of competition. Goyal noted that RCEP includes 15 countries, such as China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and the ten ASEAN member nations.
