WIDENING CO-OPERATION: Madan Murlidhar Dulloo (right), Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Mauritius, with Kamal Nath, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, in Delhi on Friday.
NEW DELHI: India and Mauritius on Friday discussed the proposed Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Partnership Agreement (CECPA) as well as ways to end the deadlock at the World Trade Organization (WTO). Speaking after a meeting with Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath, the visiting Mauritius Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Madan Murlidhar Dulloo, said issues, concerning the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), however, did not figure in the talks. He said issues relating to the DTAA were being taken care of by a technical group and, therefore, were not taken up in this round of discussions. The two countries have already formed an empowered team for negotiating CECPA, following the recommendations of the joint study group. He said the talks also examined ways to break the impasse in the Doha round of negotiations at the WTO. "Apart from trade, we discussed how to unlock the WTO impasse,'' he added. The Mauritius Minister said trade ministers of key players at the WTO are likely to hold informal consultations at Davos by the end of this month to find a way forward for the Doha round. Prior to this meeting, trade ministers of the African Union would hold discussions on multilateral trade talks. The key trading bloc African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) — of which Mauritius is a member — would also meet to discuss the Doha round. Meetings of major developing countries in the run-up to talks at Davos are significant as their stand would determine, to a large extent, if the global talks could be revived.
