A proposed free-trade agreement between Israel and India has started to "see light at the end of the tunnel", the Israeli envoy here said on Thursday, exuding confidence that the pact will be concluded.
The negotiations for having an Indo-Israel FTA were launched by then prime minister Manmohan Singh in 2007.
Israeli Ambassador to India Ron Malka, at an event here, said the Indo-Israel FTA was progressing and such an agreement would be fruitful for both countries.
Asked about the progress on the FTA, he said, "It is progressing. Just lately we have started to see light at the end of the tunnel. A free-trade agreement between Israel and India will be fruitful. Israel is a small country, it poses no threat to Indian producers and farmers."
