India today said that the centre is looking at the alleged attack and arrest of Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy seriously.
“We are constructively working for a long term solution to the issue,” Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told reporters in Chennai. She also said External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj too is of the view that arrests of fishermen should not be there.
Sitharaman also said that the Centre is studying Special Economic Zones in the country and all the Foreign Trade Agreements with other nations to analyse the benefits they have given to the Indian economy.
“I have instructed my ministry officials to look at all FTAs and decide individually on whether they are useful or not and decide on changes,” she said.
