New Zealand Pushing India FTA

New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key, accompanied by Trade Minister Tim Groser and a 25-strong business delegation, will meet with key Indian individuals to discuss furthering bilateral trade and investment, with talks expected to focus on a proposed trade pact aimed at reducing tariffs.

During the official visit, Key will meet with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh in New Delhi. The New Zealand government said that it expected discussions to be "wide-ranging, but likely to focus on making further progress on the New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations".
