Foreign Trade Policy today

NEW DELHI: In a bid to take on China and create more jobs, India will unveil its Foreign Trade Policy on Friday, which is likely to give a new thrust to toys, leather, textiles, stationery, sports goods and processed food exports. ``Exports are for jobs, not for dollars,'' Commerce Minister Kamal Nath said here, promising to iron out difficulties faced by exporters, including simplification of procedures to push exports, which has already touched a record $100 billion in 2005-06.
