Considerable progress made in trade talks with EU: India

A considerable amount of progress has been made in the discussions on the India-European Union (EU) trade deal, with New Delhi investing much effort to expand the country's export markets since markets elsewhere have come under pressure, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri (pictured) said in Ahmedabad on Monday.

Addressing a press briefing in the afternoon following talks between visiting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Misri said he hasn't had the opportunity to look at the comments made by new US ambassador Sergio Gor in New Delhi in the morning. Earlier in the day, Gor said at the US Embassy in the national capital that India and the US are actively negotiating a trade deal, with a key call scheduled for Tuesday.
