New Delhi : FICCI and CUTS International are jointly organising a session on ‘Evolving Global Trade Architecture and India’ at FICCI, Federation House, on March 10.
Dr. Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times, London will be speaking on the topic.
Commerce Secretary Rita Teaotia will also share her views with the participants.
Mega-regionals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) have the potential of significantly redefining the world trade architecture. In this fast-changing global trade landscape, India has to recognize the emerging challenges from the mega-FTAs, and strategize how to respond. The conference would give us an opportunity to understand the evolving global market conditions, the challenges emerging for India and our response to it.
