#WATCH | Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "Why should we waste time? My flight is a little delayed...For about 20 years, discussions have been going on in New Zealand for FTA (Free Trade Agreement) but it was not getting done due to some or the reason. It was set aside. PM Modi set a target of Viksit Bharat 2047 before everyone. For that, it is essential to further expand our relations with developed countries, India's trade grows, investment come to India, our people get opportunities outside and employment gets generated here. Discussions have been going on between New Zealand and India for the past 6 months. There are possibilities of an FTA really fast. I hope we will decide on an FTA soon between the two nations which will be beneficial for both countries."

#WATCH | Delhi: On US President Trump signing an Executive Order to raise the fee that companies pay to sponsor H-1B applicants to $100,000, S Mahendra Dev, member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, says, "... In India, a lot of things are happening. So we will have more startups, more companies in cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Gurgaon, all will benefit because of these startups and other things... I think it's a gain for us. And India is planning to have Viksit Bharat. So it will add to the Viksit Bharat, I think, if they stay back. Also, some other countries can diversify to go to the other countries... US-India tariff thing, we are doing a fourfold thing. One is helping the industry, like textiles and others, you know, with loans and lower interest rates and all. The second one is that we are diversifying into other countries. Third is FTA; we are speeding up. Fourth, we are continuing the negotiations. Hopefully, within the next one or two months, we'll have something. The Commerce Ministry is doing the negotiation... In the UK, I think we have a very good FTA because both countries have reduced the tariffs. And Europe also, negotiations are going on. And with some other countries, the UAE and other countries, we are also going to do. So with this, we are also speeding up things to have more FTAs... For those concerned, it may have an impact on them. But overall, I feel that India may benefit if they stay back in India and get good jobs and other things. India is also progressing very well. And then, of course, they will also diversify to other countries..."

#WATCH | US President Trump imposes 25% tariffs on India | Mumbai, Maharashtra: Vice Chairman of the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council, Avinash Gupta, says, "It will affect the gem and jewellery industry, but the best part is that the Indian government has done the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with the UK, Australia, and other countries also. We have more options available than the US only. We are going to have more options for exporting to other countries. It is going to hurt, as the US was a very big market for the Indian jewellery industry. It will affect us, but it is not going to hamper us."

#WATCH | Delhi | On trade negotiations between the US and India, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "It is a challenging negotiation. We are negotiating with many countries. The US is not the only negotiation. We have ongoing negotiations with the EU, we already concluded a deal with the UK, and we are talking with other countries also. If we can't compete in America, we may have to diversify our markets outside of America. We are not out of options. If America is completely unreasonable with its demands, we have to move elsewhere. That is the strength of India; we are not a totally export-dependent economy like China. We have a good and strong domestic market. We must give strong support to our negotiators to find the best deal possible. If a good deal is not possible, we may have to walk away..."

#WATCH | On US President Trump imposing an additional 25% tariff on India over Russian oil purchases, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "I don't think that's particularly good news for us and that takes our total tariffs to 50 per cent then that's going to make our goods unaffordable to a lot of people in America and in particularly when you're looking at these percentages you have to compare them with the tariffs being levied on some of our competitors. I'm afraid that if you look at people like Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, even Bangladesh and Pakistan have lower tariffs than us, then ultimately people will not be buying goods from us in America if they can buy them cheaper elsewhere. So that's not very good for our exports to America. This means we need to very seriously diversify to other countries and other markets that may be interested in what we have to offer. We now have an FTA with the UK. We are talking to the EU. There are many countries in which hopefully we would be able to, but in the short term, it is definitely a blow...

I laid down the fact very calmly that we don't find fair pricing (from China)..., and in the 10 years of the UPA government, that trade deficit sore by 25%... When Atal Bihari Vajpayee laid down the office in 2004, the India-China trade deficit was at a certain level, and in the 10 years of the UPA government, that trade deficit sore by 25%... We wonder what that MoU was, signed by Rahul Gandhi in China with the Communist Party of China, after which tariffs were brought down very significantly on products which China massively dumped into India, which killed many of our local manufacturing ecosystem and made us dependent on China. The country is still suffering from those 10 years of mismanagement of the economy..."

#WATCH | Delhi | Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "...Switzerland and the United Kingdom were always considered the most difficult countries to work on intellectual property and the laws around intellectual property (IP). They are very strict about their IP laws and somehow, there was a lack of trust for decades between these European countries and India. I am happy to share with you that we have built that trust by having a very robust IP chapter in TEPA with EFTA, in the free trade agreement with the United Kingdom and we will have a chapter in the EU agreement, which only goes to show that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India today is not living in the past. India is today well-prepared for the future. India today goes to negotiate from a position of strength with full confidence in the ability of our young talent and therefore we are confident that given the robust intellectual property laws and enforcement in India and the plans to make them even stronger in the future, we will not only attract the committed hundred billion dollar investment but we are hoping to attract much more than that."
