After a decade-long hiatus, India and New Zealand have agreed to resume negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement on Mar 16. Although talks between India and New Zealand originally began in April 2010 to boost trade in goods, services, and investment, they stalled after ten rounds. The negotiations were suspended in February 2015 due to disagreements over market access and trade priorities.The decision to restart negotiations was announced during the visit of New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to New Delhi. As the talks resume, both countries will need to iron out the issues that led to the breakdown in discussions last time.
