A former trade negotiator doubts India will be fazed by Winston Peters claiming bad faith around our new trade deal. 

The Foreign Affairs Minister accused National last week of covertly making immigration changes that could undermine the relationship between the two countries. 

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford's confirmed initial decisions consistent with the FTA have been sent to Ministers for feedback.

Stephen Jacobi says India will be making changes as it implements the deal - and Peters' comments likely won't be much surprise. 

"They will have had numerous reports on the High Commission about his views on the FTA in particular, and his views about India more generally, and Indian immigration."
