CALCUTTA: There is “no clear Signal” from the USSR on the future direction of the Indo Soviet trade and the present Indo Soviet trade treaty would continue till the stipulated time in 1992.

Speaking at a press conference here Saturday, the Union Deputy Minister of Commerce Salman Khurshid said with the Soviet Union remaining too busy with its internal affairs, the Indian missions have yet to advise the government on the issue.

The rupee trade arrangements would also continue till 1992 “as the Indian govt did not want 10 Prejudge any issue”, the minister said.

 On the Indian Govt’s stand regarding intellectual property rights (IPR), he said there was likelihood of the Indian stand being shifted whereby the U.S. sentiment on it would be respected, but not “without being preoccupied with the Indian

Interest.”

He hinted that the govt was trying to evolve a strategy to accommade the U.S. viewpoint also.

We are all proud of making little mistakes. We give us the feeling we don’t make any big
