India will not sign any free-trade agreement (FTA) in a “rush” but will engage with the world without compromising the interest of domestic industry, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesday. He said India will enter into an FTA or comprehensive partnership agreements on its terms and will do what is best for the people and national interest.
“In terms of RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Partnership Agreement), lot of wrong information have been spread all over. Let me assure each one of you that India will no more sign any FTA in a rush.
“India is not in a weak leadership which had worked only on deadlines to execute FTAs. India will enter into an FTA or comprehensive partnerships on India’s terms,” he said here.
He was addressing a state consultation workshop on Make in India.
