'UK & Oman FTAs may figure in Comm Ministry's 100-day agenda'

India’s proposed free trade agreements (FTAs) with the UK and Oman are expected to figure in the Commerce Ministry’s 100-day agenda roadmap for the new government, an official said.

The ministry will also focus on issues pertaining to the exporting community with a view to promoting the country’s outbound shipments.

Further talks between India and Australia to expand the scope of existing economic cooperation and trade agreement (ECTA) for a comprehensive economic cooperation agreement (CECA) are also progressing at a healthy rate.

The exercise assumes significance as while chairing a Cabinet meeting on March 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the ministers to meet secretaries and other officials of their respective ministries to discuss how the agenda for the first 100 days and the next five years can be better implemented.

The seven-phase Lok Sabha polls, the world’s biggest election exercise, will kick off on April 19 with the counting of votes set to take place on June 4.

The official said that these two FTAs are in their final stages as talks on most of the issues have been concluded.
