UNITED NATIONS: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Thursday that he sees “a lot of positive expectations” from the recent free trade agreement between India and the European Union, and it could contribute to global multi-polarity.
On Tuesday, India and the EU announced the free trade agreement, which EU President Ursula von der Leyen called the “mother of all trade deals”.
During his annual news conference to discuss his priorities for the year, Guterres stressed the need for multipolarity at a time when global power is being subsumed by two powers, which he said were the United States and China.
