Sweden will act as an “honest broker” and will do its best to conclude FTA negotiations, the visiting Swedish foreign trade minister Johan Forssell told journalists in India. Forssell also discussed the FTA with Indian commerce minister Piyush Goyal during his India trip.
Stating that India’s growth story has just begun, Forssell, who took office under the new Swedish government on October 18 this year, said that Sweden wants to be a part of the story.
The negotiations for India-EU FTA re-started in June 2022. They were launched in June 2007 but were suspended in 2013 after several rounds of talks as both sides failed to agree on crucial issues, including the movement of professionals and tariffs on certain goods.
