Good progress in FTA talks
Mint Hyderabad
|April 03, 2025
India and the European Union (EU) have made "good progress" on some aspects of talks for a free trade agreement (FTA) that both sides want to conclude by the year-end, with US threats of tariffs strengthening the rationale for it, EU ambassador Hervé Delphin said.
During a visit to India in February with almost the entire EU College of Commissioners, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister Narendra Modi threw their weight behind the ambitious goal of finalizing the FTA by the end of 2025.
The negotiations for the trade deal originally began in 2007, were suspended in 2013, and then revived in 2022.
