Assam is positioning itself as the principal logistics gateway and redistribution hub for North East India following discussions at the 2nd CII North East Logistics Conclave. Key leaders emphasized connecting land ports like Dawki, Agartala, and Sutarkandi with multi-modal transport networks to lower transaction costs and dwell times. Concurrently, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced significant progress in trade negotiations with India, targeting the conclusion of a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) by the G20 Summit in December. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Canada around that time, marking a major diplomatic and economic reconciliation after previous tensions. Meanwhile, German Ambassador Dr. Jasper Wieck confirmed that the long-awaited Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the European Union is finalized and likely to be signed before the end of the year.
