“We are working for a good trade deal in the interest of India,” Goyal said. “At the same time, India is not going to compromise the interests of our farmers, fishermen, workers, labour, and our dairy sector. We are working on a fair, equitable, and balanced trade deal.”
The minister added that discussions with the US are progressing constructively and the agreement could be finalised at any time, depending on mutual understanding between the two sides.
“We want a fair, equitable and balanced trade deal with the US. If that happens, it could happen any day — tomorrow, next month, or next year. But as a government, we are preparing for everything,” he stated.
The proposed pact is expected to boost economic cooperation and enhance market access between the two countries, which are already significant trade partners.
