The Indian Institute of Foreign Trade launched a specialized training initiative on Monday to enhance trade negotiation capabilities among Department of Commerce personnel. Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal addressed participants at the Centre for International Negotiations event, and he praised the institute's expertise in preparing officials for complex international trade discussions. The programme aims to equip government representatives with practical strategies for bilateral and multilateral trade forums.
Vice Chancellor Rakesh Mohan Joshi noted the institution's expansion to Kakinada, GIFT City, and a planned Dubai campus while highlighting recent achievements in student placement outcomes reaching 1.23 crore rupees. The institute develops case studies on bilateral trade agreements such as the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, which grants 99 percent of Indian exports duty-free access to British markets. Programme Director Rohit Mehtani emphasized the initiative's role in strengthening India's position in global trade negotiations.
