Hon MEKA WHAITIRI (Minister of Customs): on behalf of the Minister for Trade and Export Growth: Remiss of me to say that we continue to engage with India on our aspirations to improve the economic and trading relationship at a bilateral level. So we have not departed from engaging with India. I can report that the Indian Government has been signalling in recent months, in line with its self-reliance campaign launched in May 2020, that it will prioritise partnerships and in the long run grant preferential market access to those partners making significant contributions to its development, including through foreign direct investment. As such, key New Zealand companies in India have been exploring how New Zealand can expand its investment footprint in India. Like I said, the door for bilateral agreement remains open should India choose to remain outside the RCEP.
