<h1>Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement promoted through ministerial visit to advance institutional ties and boost bilateral trade growth.</h1> The visit seeks to operationalise and promote the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) through ministerial consultations and stakeholder outreach to implement institutional cooperation, market access and trade facilitation measures. Meetings with Australian trade and immigration ministers, business leaders, agricultural producers, diaspora and academic forums are planned to encourage private-sector uptake. ECTA is described as India's first trade pact with a developed country in over a decade, intended to deepen bilateral trade and generate employment by translating institutional provisions into expanded trade and investment outcomes.
