This stage covers the liberalization of the trade of goods and freedom of movement of businesspersons, head of the trade agreements and foreign trade sectors at the Trade and Industry Ministry Saeed Abdullah said.
The negotiations are held under a roadmap adopted by heads of the three bodies in June in Sharm El Sheikh, Abdullah said according to a ministry statement.
