加拿大贸易部长马宁德·西德胡（Maninder Sidhu）周五表示，他将于本月晚些时候率领一个由近300名成员组成的商业代表团前往印度，探索跨行业的机会，两国正在准备就拟议的全面经济伙伴关系协定（CEPA）进行下一轮谈判。西德胡周四在密尔沃基会见了商务部长皮尤什·戈亚尔（Piyush Goyal），表示，印度和加拿大将与新德里官员开始另一轮谈判，作为年底前达成贸易协定的一部分。
Canada's Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu said on Friday that he will travel to India later this month with a nearly 300-member business delegation to explore opportunities across sectors, as the two countries prepare for the next round of talks on their proposed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).Sidhu, who met Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in Milwaukee on Thursday, said India and Canada would begin another round of negotiations with officials from New Delhi as part of efforts to conclude the trade pact by the end of the year. Goyal also said the two sides had reviewed the ongoing negotiations and reaffirmed their commitment to speed up the process. India and Canada announced a bilateral trade deal in March this year with the aim of expanding trade between the two countries to USD 70 billion by 2030.
戈亚尔还表示，双方审查了正在进行的谈判，并重申了加快谈判进程的承诺。印度和加拿大于今年3月宣布达成双边贸易协议，目标是到2030年将两国贸易额扩大到700亿美元。Sidhu在X上的一篇帖子中表示：“在孟买结束第四轮谈判后，我在10月5日开始的下一轮谈判之前在G20峰会上再次会见了Piyush Goyal部长，以推进谈判，以达成协议。今年年底前。“下一轮CEPA谈判定于渥太华开始。西德胡表示，两国之间还有深化商业关系的空间。他说：“目前双向贸易额超过300亿加元，共同目标是到2030年达到700亿加元，两国之间的贸易和投资关系有很大的发展空间。”他还表示，他将于本月率领加拿大贸易代表团前往印度。“这就是为什么本月我将率领加拿大贸易代表团前往印度，将来自关键行业企业的近300名加拿大代表带到印度，在世界上增长最快的市场之一建立联系、寻找新客户并寻求机会，”Sidhu说。
In a post on X, Sidhu said, "After wrapping up the fourth round of negotiations in Mumbai, I met again with Minister Piyush Goyal at the G20 ahead of the next round beginning October 5 to advance negotiations to conclude towards a deal before the end of this year." The next round of negotiations on the CEPA is scheduled to begin in Ottawa. Sidhu said there was room to deepen commercial ties between the two countries. "With more than Canadian dollars 30 billion in two-way trade today and a shared goal of reaching Canadian dollars 70 billion by 2030, there is significant room to grow the trade and investment relationship between our two countries," he said. He also said he would lead a Team Canada Trade Mission to India this month. "That's why this month I am leading a Team Canada Trade Mission to India, bringing close to 300 Canadian delegates from businesses across key sectors to make connections, find new customers and pursue opportunities in one of the world's fastest-growing markets," Sidhu said.
他补充说，从关键的矿产和能源到农业，技术和加拿大是全球领导者的其他行业，这一努力旨在帮助加拿大公司建立伙伴关系并在印度发展。在X上的另一篇文章中，Goyal说他与Sidhu进行了一次“富有成效的会议”，并回顾了正在进行的印加CEPA谈判。他说，该协议由总理纳伦德拉·莫迪和加拿大总理马克·卡尼于3月启动，到2030年将双边贸易额提高到500亿美元。
He added that from critical minerals and energy to agriculture, technology and other sectors where Canada is a global leader, the effort was aimed at helping Canadian companies build partnerships and grow in India. In a separate post on X, Goyal said he had a "productive meeting" with Sidhu and reviewed the ongoing negotiations for the India-Canada CEPA. He said the agreement was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in March to take bilateral trade to USD 50 billion by 2030.
戈亚尔说：“在我们最近在孟买举行的会议的基础上，我们重申了加快谈判和努力早日达成协议的承诺。”最新的交流强调了双方推动CEPA谈判，扩大贸易和投资关系的努力。
"Building on our recent meeting in Mumbai, we reaffirmed our commitment to expediting negotiations and working towards an early conclusion of the agreement," Goyal said. The latest exchanges underline both sides' push to advance the CEPA talks and expand trade and investment ties.
