Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are formal trade arrangements between two or more countries or trading blocs. They are designed to reduce or eliminate customs tariffs and non-tariff barriers, facilitate smoother trade in goods and services, and promote greater economic cooperation. FTAs may also cover areas such as investment, intellectual property rights, government procurement, and competition policy, supporting structured and transparent international trade. #DoC_India #FreeTradeAgreement #FTA #IndianExports #GlobalTrade @RajeshAgrawal94 @PIB_India
