India Willing To Sign Free Trade Agreement With EU

The central government has said that it is willing to sign free trade agreement with the European Union (EU). However, it also added that it wanted the EU to address the concerns raised by New Delhi.

"Nothing stops us from doing it, but of course, let him (the EU ambassador) also come back saying they are interested...it’s not as if we are holding back...," Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.

EU is presently focussing on the trade pact, which is a transatlantic trade and investment partnership.
