But the source held out the option that New Delhi could join at a "later date" even after it is signed -- if outstanding issues are resolved.
China's deputy foreign minister Le Yucheng echoed the view.

(1) Since all the RCEP members are ready with the exception of India - why don't the rest of the RCEP members sign the RCEP deal by this year end 2019 as Phase 1 of the RCEP deal.

(2) India can continue to negotiate and only when India is ready - then India can sign as Phase 2 of the RCEP deal in Feb 2020.

(3) Why let one member delay the whole RCEP deal?
Less
