Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal will on Monday co-chair the discussions
for the sixth India-Canada ministerial dialogue on trade and investment
(MDTI) in Ottawa, Canada, along with his Canadian counterpart Mary Ng.
MDTI is a bilateral mechanism which provides
institutional mechanism to discuss a broad spectrum of trade and
investment related issues and cooperation areas.
The dialogue
will focus on various themes including strengthening the bilateral trade
relationship between India and Canada, investment promotion and
cooperation, green transition -- including critical minerals discussion
and new areas of cooperation such as promoting B2B engagements.
The ministers will also review India-Canada CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) negotiations.
At
the last MDTI meeting in March 2022, both ministers had launched the
CEPA negotiations with a possibility to have an interim agreement or
EPTA (Early Progress Trade Agreement).
Since then, seven rounds of negotiations have been held.
Goyal will also be visiting Toronto from May 9 to 10, where he will have various engagements to promote trade and investment.
These
engagements will include meetings with CEOs of key Canadian companies,
round table of Indian and Canadian CEOs, interaction with Canadian and
Indian companies based in Canada and financial sector round table among
other meetings.
