Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal held bilateral discussions with Minister for Trade and Tourism of Australia Senator the Hon. Don Farrell and Minister for Skills and Training Andrew Giles, focused on unlocking the full potential of the India-Australia Economic Partnership, including through an ambitious and balanced India-Australia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA).
During the meeting, the Ministers reviewed the progress made under the CECA negotiations and discussed pathways to elevate bilateral trade and economic partnerships. The discussions covered a wide range of areas, including trade in goods, services, investment and mutually beneficial cooperation.
Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to work constructively towards the early conclusion of a balanced and mutually beneficial CECA, building on the foundation of the India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), which entered into force in December 2022. Meanwhile, in FY 2024-25, bilateral merchandise trade between India and Australia stood at $24.1 billion, with India’s exports registering a growth of 14% in 2023-24 and a further 8% in 2024-25.
