Upcoming BIMSTEC Summit To Finalize FTAs and Trade Facilitation Measures

Speaking at a meeting on 'Fourth BIMSTEC Summit: Expectations, Challenges, and Opportunities', organized by FICCI, the  Heads of Missions expressed disappointment that 13 years after the framework agreement was finalized, FTA was still being negotiated. They felt that the time was ripe for BIMSTEC leaders to give unequivocal directives to facilitate the conclusion of FTA.
