The European Union and India will agree to restart long-stalled trade talks at a leaders' summit on Saturday, an EU official said, as tensions with China spur closer cooperation. "After almost eight years of the suspension of the free trade talks, we will agree to resume these," a senior EU official told journalists on Thursday in a briefing ahead of the summit. "This opens up the way to a possible free trade agreement between us." Momentum has been growing for closer ties between Europe's 27-nation bloc and the world's largest democracy in the face of the rising might of Beijing.More Related News
