Union Commerce, Industry, and Textiles Minister Piyush Goyal is heading for a two-day visit to the UK’s London, starting Monday, to take forward negotiations for bilateral trade pacts with the UK and the four-nation European Free Trade Association (EFTA) bloc.
Goyal will engage in high-level meetings with his UK counterparts, including the Secretary of State for International Trade, as well as representatives from various sectors and industries.
“With the FTA negotiations gaining momentum, the visit aims to further propel the discussions and pave the way for a comprehensive and mutually beneficial agreement that would drive economic growth and strengthen ties between the two nations,” PTI has quoted the official statement as reading.
The UK Minister for International Trade Nigel Huddleston said last week that half of the chapters in the proposed bilateral trade agreement had been worked out and concluded already.
