ASEAN countries and their six trade partners such as India, China and Australia are negotiating a mega trade deal named as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
In a statement, JSL Managing Director Abhyuday Jindal said, "This has reference to the Inter-Ministerial Meet to be held in Singapore...reportedly for drawing substantial conclusions to the RCEP agreement between 16 countries, including China.
