What happened
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stated that talks regarding an India-Canada Free Trade Agreement are progressing rapidly and are gaining 'political heft.' Goyal noted that he met with his Canadian counterpart in Mumbai the previous week and that ministers, rather than bureaucrats, are now becoming more closely involved in the discussions.
