新西兰推动印度批准《自由贸易协定》,旨在消除印度进口关税,并允许其95%的出口获得优惠准入,尽管存在政治障碍。
New Zealand advances India FTA ratification, aiming to eliminate tariffs on Indian imports and grant preferential access to 95% of its exports, despite political hurdles.
新西兰在批准与印度的自由贸易协定方面正在取得进展,贸易部长托德·麦克莱(Todd McClay)说,这项协议比多数现有协议更有力,将取消对印度所有进口的关税,同时对新西兰对印度95%的出口给予免关税或减税。
New Zealand is making progress toward ratifying its free trade agreement with India, with Trade Minister Todd McClay stating the deal is stronger than most existing ones and would eliminate tariffs on all Indian imports while granting tariff-free or reduced tariffs on 95% of New Zealand’s exports to India.
虽然新西兰第一党已撤销支持, 但麦克莱报告与劳工局进行建设性会谈, 劳工局自去年年底以来便能充分接触到协定案文, 并正在寻求更强有力的移民工人保护。
Although New Zealand First has withdrawn support, McClay reports constructive talks with Labour, which has had full access to the agreement’s text since late last year and is seeking stronger migrant worker protections.
McClay强调,过去的重大贸易交易需要两党的支持,并申明政府不会达成不充分的协议,保持对获得更广泛政治支持的乐观态度。
McClay emphasized that past major trade deals required bipartisan backing and affirmed the government would not proceed with an inadequate agreement, maintaining optimism about securing broader political support.
