India is deepening its global trade outreach and is currently negotiating free trade agreements (FTAs) with a wide range of partners, including the US and the European Union, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday. Speaking at the Ficci annual general meeting, Goyal said India is working closely with its “trusted” trading partners to strengthen economic ties through these agreements. “We have all seen trade being weaponised. We have all seen the importance of having trusted partners around the world,” he said, noting that India is presently in talks with individual nations as well as groups of countries “totalling about 50.”
