India was initially part of the negotiations for RCEP, and their withdrawal in late 2019 was a disappointment. However, the RCEP countries have put in place a fast-track accession process for India should it wish to rejoin in the future. I want to say today, on behalf of the Government, that we value our relationship with India and we will continue with pursuing our aspirations to broaden and deepen the political, cultural, and trade links that we enjoy with India.
