Negotiations for the India and U.Okay. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) are on the last leg and being fast-tracked to resolve the few sticky points that stay, Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal mentioned on Friday. “Last week, their team was here. This week, our team is there. Both the teams are partly negotiating physically and over video-conferencing as well on a fast-track basis so that the last leg complex issues can be resolved and differences ironed out,” Mr. Barthwal famous, stressing that whereas timelines are in place, there aren’t any deadlines set for concluding the FTA talks that started in January 2022. Â
