Continuous discussions with Piyush Goyal
Jaishankar said that he is continuously discussing the negotiations with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. In the final stages of negotiations, everyone is anxious to see when the deal will be completed. However, he also explained that the negotiating officials do not make public information about every issue while the talks are underway. He shared his experience that similar curiosity and questions were raised earlier during the nuclear deal discussions.
Global conditions also affect trade
Jaishankar also commented on the changes in the global situation. He mentioned the conflict in the Middle East, the war in Ukraine and the crisis in parts of Africa. He said that the balance of power in the world is changing and new powers are emerging. He also explained that while the rivalry between the US and China is an important factor behind global tensions, it is not the only reason. He mentioned that there is a need for stable and capable leadership in such a challenging situation.
Emphasis on trade in goods in the first phase of the agreement
The first phase of the trade agreement is likely to focus on trade in goods. It has been informed that issues related to the service sector can be discussed in the next phase. However, the final terms of the agreement and its implementation are yet to be officially announced.
When will the deal be officially announced?
India and America Although there are positive indications of a trade agreement between them, the negotiations have not yet been concluded. The agreement will be finalized only after the two countries agree on the remaining issues. So while Jaishankar's statement has raised expectations of an early deal, an official announcement and a firm date are still awaited.
