Todd McClay: Trade Minister on the signing of the free trade agreement with India

from The SME Stream · host iHeartRadio NZ

The Trade Minister says there won't be any unpleasant surprises in the final text of our free trade agreement with India.  The deal is due to be tabled in Parliament today after Todd McClay signed it in New Delhi overnight.  New Zealand First has concerns over what it means for immigration, while Labour's concerned about potential requirements for investing in India.  McClay told Mike Hosking there's no reason for any concerns.  He says this is a high-quality deal, they've been open with the public, and he feels like Labour have been through the deal more than his lawyers have.  McClay says it’s more than just an economic and trade agreement – it's also about our strategic relationship and our cultural and sporting connection.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
