Explanation:

1st statement is correct.
Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing free trade agreements (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand).

RCEP carries with it the risk of dumping of cheap goods by China which could harm domestic Indian firms

BUt India could capitalise on the services part and until now the negotiations have indicated that RCEP wil include both goods as well as services
