NewzIndia and the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) have officially revived trade pact negotiations. The renewed discussions bring together India and the bloc's five member states: South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, and Eswatini.
This new diplomatic push follows a prolonged hiatus. Prior to the current revival, the two sides had engaged in five rounds of formal negotiations between 2002 and 2010, which ultimately concluded without securing a finalized trade deal.
