The eighth round of negotiation between India and the Latin American nation will take place in Peru in July-end.

"The idea behind sharing the non-paper is to get clarity and direction. It will also ensure that negotiations are not unnecessarily prolonged," the person cited above told Business Standard. Thereafter, offer lists on goods and services for the trade deal will also be shared soon.
