NEW DELHI -- India and the European Union on Monday formally relaunched negotiations toward a free trade agreement, ending a hiatus of nearly a decade and aiming to strike a deal by the end of 2023.
The decision to revive the talks was made about a year ago, but global pressures may be giving the two sides extra impetus to hammer out their differences. Both are seeking to reduce their economic dependence on China, while Russia's invasion of Ukraine has cast ties with Moscow in a harsher light as well.
