Citing the recent conclusion of India-EU trade deal negotiations and India-US interim trade deal, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar has said that India is engaging with international partners more intensively from a position of strength. He also noted that the world is witnessing the weaponization of production, finance, leveraging of market shares and tightening of export controls.
He highlighted that the world has entered a volatile and uncertain era, where the established global order is changing, and replacements are hard to create. Recently, India and US reached a framework for an Interim Agreement regarding reciprocal and mutually beneficial trade. The US also reduced tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 50%.
Moreover, India and the European Union (EU) had concluded negotiations for the proposed free trade agreement (FTA) in January 2026. The FTA will help boost two-way commerce and strengthen economic ties between the two sides.
