He also said that “Question of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is in the realm of government, it has expressed its intention to go forward but there is an elephant in the room, we have to be careful about it,”

According to ASEAN, this deal will provide “a framework aimed at lowering trade barriers and securing improved market access for goods and services for businesses in the region”.

“We have a trade agreement with ASEAN, we have a free trade agreement with Japan, and there are a couple of other big economies which will also become a part of this agreement (RCEP) once we sign it. There are certain issues and concerns with regard to those economies,” Madhav added.

The RCEP grouping has put on India to convince 15 other member countries bilaterally on its demands by 24 October, failing which pending issues will be put before the heads of states who are scheduled to meet on 4 November in Bangkok to announce the conclusion of negotiations.
