Event Summary

India's Commerce and Industry Minister, Piyush Goyal, announced that negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Peru are unlikely to conclude soon due to significant concerns over market access, especially regarding Gold imports which constitute a large portion of India's trade deficit with Peru. Meanwhile, FTA talks with Canada are progressing well, with the next round of negotiations scheduled. Discussions for an FTA with Israel have slowed due to the West Asia crisis but are ongoing. Additionally, India and the European Union have finalized their trade agreement, with legal scrutiny underway, and a Trade and Technology Council meeting is planned to support its implementation. These developments highlight India's active engagement in shaping its international trade landscape.
