&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The visit comes at a crucial stage in the India EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations, as both sides intensify efforts to conclude a comprehensive and mutually beneficial trade pact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Building on the momentum from the 14th round of negotiations held earlier this month, the visit aims to provide strategic direction and political impetus to the ongoing talks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Discussions between the two leaders are expected to focus on key aspects of the proposed FTA, including market access, non-tariff barriers, and regulatory cooperation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The meetings will also review progress made so far and identify areas requiring further alignment to move toward an early conclusion of the agreement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Goyals engagements will include a bilateral meeting and working dinner with Commissioner &amp;Scaron;efÄoviÄ, during which both sides are expected to reaffirm their shared commitment to deepening the India EU trade and economic partnership and to fostering closer cooperation in emerging sectors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
