<h1>Two governments deepen cooperation with free trade deal, defence supply pact, and joint maritime and clean energy programs</h1> Two national governments affirmed enhanced bilateral cooperation through a recently concluded free trade agreement and related governance mechanisms, including a reset Joint Economic and Trade Committee to oversee implementation; they announced a government-to-government defence supply arrangement for lightweight multirole missile systems and an in-principle intergovernmental agreement to co-develop maritime electric propulsion for naval platforms. Agreements extend to defence training integration, establishment of a regional maritime security centre of excellence, industry and supply-chain cooperation on critical minerals, and collaborative climate and clean-energy initiatives (offshore wind taskforce, climate technology fund). The statements reflect binding and planned state-level instruments to advance trade, security, technology transfer and joint procurement.
