UP govt to turn tariff war between US and China into an opportunity

Gorakhpur, Apr 26 (UNI) Taking advantage of the ongoing tariff war between the United States and China, the Uttar Pradesh government is gearing up to turn the global economic standoff into an opportunity for the state, official sources said here on Saturday.
Sources said that while the standoff between the two global superpowers presents a broader opportunity for India, UP, with its improving law and order situation, world-class infrastructure and abundant skilled workforce, is positioning itself as a preferred investment destination.
Sources said that backed by robust developments such as expressways, domestic and international airports and inter-state waterways along with low-cost labour and a thriving micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) sector, UP has emerged as a strong contender to attract businesses looking to shift operations away from China.
