India, UAE target US$100bil in annual trade


Piyush Goyal, India’s commerce minister.

NEW DELHI: India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) signed a broad trade and investment pact on Friday that will eventually cut all tariffs on each other’s goods and aims to increase annual trade between the two nations to US$100bil (RM420bil) within five years.

The virtual signing ceremony marked the first trade deal sealed by the Gulf state since it began pursuing such pacts last September in a bid to strengthen its status as a business hub.
