India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Monday that the country is attempting to strengthen bilateral trade relations with a number of countries and that it hopes to begin trade negotiations with Canada within the next two to three months.
“We are looking at a free trade agreement and comprehensive economic partnership with the UAE, which is close to finalisation. We are also at an advanced stage with Australia on concluding interim agreement, which will include our large area of interest, particularly about oriented sectors such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, footwear, leather and agricultural products,” Goyal said.
Later this month, talks with the UK are likely to begin, and an interim deal might be in place by March.
