radio live day

Last Friday was radio live programme day.

All we need to do was to see news agency and find out several stroies suitable for broadcasting magazine, and to rewrite as well. All the selected news should fit to a certain audience.

For the first time I broadcasted as a live presenter. It was interesting, I were nervous, otherwise.

Trade story

Indian Trade minister Kamal Nath, and European Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson continues summit talks last Friday after pushing free trade pact in New Delhi.

The European Union (EU) and India launched summit talks last Friday morning after setting a 2008 target for a free trade pact.

The eighth EU-India Summit would seek to build closer strategic relationships and also get deeper cooperation in "energy, climate change and World Trade Organization talks," said an EU mission statement in New Delhi.

The EU, with 27-member union, is India's largest trading partner, which accounts for a fifth of India's total trade, and is also one of its most important sources of foreign investment.

EU-India trade importance

While economy has been increasing at a second rapid speed in recent years, while China is in the fastest pace, India plays a fast expanding role in the world economy, it is important to make free trade agreement for the EU, also India needs hundreds of billions of dollars of foreign investment to sustain this growth.

Nath had urged a successful conclusion of a free trade deal by the end of next year on Thursday and Mandelson voiced similar hopes.

While the EU continues to be India's primary trading partner and biggest foreign investor, "the conclusion of a bilateral Free Trade Agreement will certainly boost bilateral trade," European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said.

India's foreign ministry said deals would be signed later Friday on scientific, technological and development cooperation.
