Malaysia and India are expected to sign a free trade agreement during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to that country later this year.
India and the 10-member-group signed the landmark agreement on Thursday in Bangkok. Malaysia International Trade and Industry Minister Mustapa Mohamed said 71 per cent Malaysian goods would enjoy duty-free access to India by 2013 and another 9 per cent by 2016, while tariffs for the remaining 10 per cent would come down to 5 per cent.
