Chris Luxon says India and New Zealand are continuing to get closer to reaching a free trade agreement.

Trade Minister Todd McClay hosted Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in Auckland last week for a fifth round of talks on an FTA.

The Prime Minister says it's been good to see Goyal coming here when he's so in-demand around the world.

Luxon told Mike Hosking that McClay will head to India this week for further talks.

He says they're making good progress, with some negotiations, but they're committed to getting the deal done.
