New Delhi, Mar 13 : The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the signing of an Agreement between Bhutan Food and Drug Authority (BFDA), Ministry of Health, Royal Government of Bhutan and Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regarding cooperation in the area of food safety.

This will facilitate the trade between two neighbouring countries, an official release said after the Union Cabinet meeting.

It further said that the BFDA will issue a Health Certificate as a proof of compliance with the requirements prescribed by FSSAI, while exporting the products to India.

This will promote Ease of Doing Business and will reduce compliance cost on both sides.
