India, Canada begin fourth round of FTA talks, aim to conclude pact this year
India and Canada on Monday began the fourth round of negotiations for the proposed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), with the two sides aiming to conclude the talks by the end of this year.
The five-day round, being held from September 14 to 18, will cover key areas including trade in goods and services, rules of origin and technical barriers to trade, an official said. The third round of negotiations was held in Ottawa in July.
The talks assume significance as India and Canada have set a target of taking bilateral trade to USD 50 billion by 2030.
