NEW DELHI: India has started trade talks with the European Union (EU) and is open to dialogue with the United Kingdom for a free trade agreement, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Saturday.
Goyal said that India is open to engage with the UK for a preferential trade agreement with the ultimate goal of a free trade agreement between the countries.
He said that he is also in dialogue with the European Union's trade commissioner for a deal that could start with a preferential trade agreement.
He added that the ultimate goal here too would be to have a free trade agreement.
India currently has no trade deal with the EU. Trade talks between the two regions stalled in 2013.
