India and EU Aim to Sign Free Trade Agreement During Modi's December Brussels Visit
India and the European Union are working to finalize their Free Trade Agreement (FTA) by December, aiming to coincide with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's expected visit to Brussels. The European Commission has proposed a fast-track approval process using the original English text to avoid delays from translating into 24 EU languages. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal is set to visit Brussels to address procedural issues, following Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal's recent engagements in key EU countries. Timelines remain tentative pending official confirmation.
