German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday there was a need for a fresh attempt to restart talks on finalising a free trade agreement (FTA) between India and the European Union.
Merkel, who is in India along with several cabinet colleagues and a business delegation, began talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on trade, investment, regional security and climate change.
A free trade pact with India has been a long-pending demand from Germany, India’s largest trading partner in Europe. The pact has been in discussion for years.
