<h1>India and EU Resume BTIA Talks After 16 Rounds; Aim for Early Resolution, Says Commerce Minister in Lok Sabha.</h1> India and the European Union began negotiations for a Broad-based Bilateral Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA) in 2007, but the EU withdrew after sixteen rounds, with the last round held in 2013, due to unresolved issues. Since January 2016, four stocktaking meetings have been conducted to advance the negotiations, with sessions held in New Delhi and Brussels. India remains committed to achieving an early and balanced resolution to the BTIA discussions. This update was provided by the Commerce and Industry Minister in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
