Canada Stopped Talks On Free Trade Agreement: Piyush Goyal

Mr Goyal said the move would hurt Canada more as India's market is big and offers more opportunities.

The talks between India and Canada for a free trade agreement are on a pause as the latter stopped discussions due to some misconceptions, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said.

"There are some misconceptions among some Canadian politicians, which are baseless," Mr Goyal said at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit on Saturday. 

Mr Goyal said the move would hurt Canada more as India's market is big and offers more opportunities. He added talks with the UK around the agreement are progressing steadily.
