<h1>India prioritizes trade deals with complementary economies, avoids competitors to prevent Chinese goods infiltration</h1> India's Commerce and Industry Minister stated the country focuses on trade agreements with nations that complement rather than compete with India's economy. The minister criticized previous administrations for negotiating deals with competitors, effectively opening markets to Chinese goods through intermediary countries. Current trade dialogues target developed nations including the US, New Zealand, EU, and Gulf countries where mutual benefits exist without harming either economy. The minister emphasized collaboration in innovation, highlighting recent agreements with the UK, Australia, UAE, and European Free Trade Association. A memorandum was signed between quantum technology councils to enhance UK-India cooperation in emerging technologies.
