1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: There are only a few business days of the year

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: left in our trade ministers not wasting any of them.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: He's winging his way to India again to work on

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: that free trade deal. This is his fourth visit just

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: this year. The chair of the Indian New Zealand Business Councilors.

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: But Charla Hi, but do you think the Indian government's

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: going to be impressed with his persistence?

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: I think that's good. It's a good momentum. It's even

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: government is showing and the Trade minister is going again

10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: and again. That is needed and that is something positive

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: direction what we're going in.

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: Ten days ago, Winston Peters said that we might be

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: able to announce the start of negotiation soon, which does

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: show some progress. Is this what you're hearing?

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: Yes? And that is heading from the Indian side also.

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Okay, So what happens when do we announce the negotiations.

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: I think, to be honest, negotiations or the industry efforts

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: are going on, though ideas are now kind of more

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: working towards a good relationship or our approach where we

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: can announce some kind of positive movement towards a compresive

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: agreement or a trade agreement. What ministers saying, so I

22
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: think something around when we talk about first quarter to

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: second quarner, we will get some kind of movement or

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: attention from both the governments. Okay.

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: And then in this in any kind of FTA that

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: we start going into, do we just need to give

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: up on dairy? Is that just a pipe dream from us?

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: No? I think there is integral part of the new system.

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: And again India, it doesn't say that we don't want there.

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: They just want to make sure that we are into

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: a process where what all can be given. And there

32
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: is one part of the direction. Again, there can be

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: multiple structures in place. How there it can be useful

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: and positive in the direction.

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: Brilliant stuff. I thank you very much about it. I

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: really appreciate about it. Talla, Indian New Zealand Business Council Chair.
