According to a report in Business Standard, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday said there was no extraordinary increase in trade with China and that the trade deficit with the neighbouring country has come down to USD 44 billion in 2021 from USD 48 billion in 2014-15.

The minister also said that from 2003 and 2013-14, when the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) was in power, imports from China had increased by 1,160 percent. There was also a 24 times increase in trade deficit from USD 1.5 billion in 2004-05 to USD 36 billion in 20-13-14, the report said.

Goyal’s remarks come days after Congress spokesperson Gourav Vallabh criticised the government saying that while China was renaming places in Arunachal Pradesh and setting up villages in Indian territory, the government was still carrying on with 100-billion-dollar trade with China.

“It (trade deficit) almost remains steady I can assure you that there is no extraordinary increase (in trade) with China,” the report said.

He also noted that India’s overall trade with Australia increased 102 percent, South Africa 82 percent, UAE 65 percent and China only 44 percent.

About free trade agreements, Goyal said that India’s FTA with the UAE is close to finalisation.

India is also concluding the interim agreement with Australia, which will cover “large areas of interest particularly our labour-oriented sectors like textiles, pharma, footwear, leather products and agricultural products,” he said.

India is also planning to launch FTA negotiations with the UK later this month and put in place an interim agreement by March this year while talks with Canada are expected to be launched in the next 2-3 months, the report said. (Business Standard)
