India, China must have meaningful engagement on trade, market access, non-tariffs barriers: Nirmala Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said India and China must hold meaningful discussions on trade, market access and non-tariff barriers, stressing that building a balanced relationship will take time and sincere engagement.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has called for “meaningful engagement” between India and China on critical trade problems such as market access and non-tariff obstacles.

Sitharaman told CNN-News18 that the government’s top aim in conversations with Beijing is to get more market access for Indian enterprises. She said that there is still more work to be done in areas such as trade discussions, market barriers, and non-tariff constraints.

The finance minister also emphasised that developing a long-term trading partnership with China will take time and asked for “sincere engagement” from both sides.
