India alone on IFD issue as it erodes WTO’s functional limits, Bangladesh joins pact

India has taken a firm stance at the World Trade Organization. The nation chose not to join the Investment Facilitation for Development Agreement. This decision protects the WTO's core principles and operational boundaries. India advocates for thorough discussions on safeguards for such agreements. This move comes as other nations, including Bangladesh and Turkiye, have agreed to join the pact.
