Berlin/New Delhi, Oct 24 (PTI) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday said India does not do trade agreements in hurry or with a “gun to our head".

He said India is actively negotiating trade pacts with countries and regions, including the European Union (EU) and the US.

“We are in active dialogue with the EU. We are talking to the US, but we do not do deals in a hurry and we do not do deals with deadlines or with a gun to our head," he said at Berlin Dialogue in Germany.
