Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday exuded confidence that negotiations for a free trade agreement between India and the UK would be launched next month and with Canada by March-April.
He was speaking at the 94th Annual Convention of industry body Ficci here.
Goyal said he will be in Mumbai on Saturday and engaging with exporters and the retail industry to examine the benefits of the free trade pact with the UAE.
“Along with that we are looking at other engagements with the UAE, which will be announced shortly, but we are still working to see whether we can have something like a large India Mart in Dubai where a huge number of stores can come up to display Indian products, a huge amount of warehousing can be picked up at affordable prices,” he added.
