Six months after negotiations over an early harvest trade pact between India and Canada were paused, there is no timeline for their resumption but high level contact may be re-established this week at the World Trade Organisation ministerial.
The two partners detailed the areas that would be covered under the early harvest trade deal. The broad areas include goods, services, investment, energy, logistics, standards, rules of origin, and sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
The UAE was India’s third largest trade partner for the eighth consecutive year in 2020-21, and bilateral non-oil trade has grown from $185 million in 1985 to more than $43 billion in 2020-21
