India's trade minister said there would be no compromise on a flagship food subsidy programme at a Word Trade Organization ministerial meeting next week.
Anand Sharma, who will lead the delegation to Bali, said a group of 33 countries were supporting India's stand on the food subsidy programme which he said was ‘sacrosanct, non- negotiable.’
New Delhi has, separately, offered to raise tariff lines for duty free imports from least developing countries, he said.
