What will Anand Sharma Tell Roberto Azevedo

- India is not standing in the way of the trade facilitation agreement but only seeking balance in the pact.

- G-33 countries’ food security proposal and the package for the LDCs are equally important to harvest the multilateral agreement in Bali.

- Anand Sharma will also push for a binding agreement on customs cooperation within the TF pact.

- Developed countries should provide financial and technical assistance to the developing countries for TF commitments.
