India does not do trade deals in hurry or with gun to our head: Piyush Goyal

New Delhi, 24/10: India will not rush into signing any trade agreements and will reject conditions from partner countries that restrict its trading choices, Trade Minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday.

The country is negotiating a long-pending free trade agreement with the European Union, with differences remaining over market access, environmental standards and rules of origin. Trade talks with the United States, which has imposed 50% tariffs on Indian exports, and several other countries are also underway.
