India’s Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Textiles, Piyush Goyal has arrived in Australia on a 3- day visit. His visit comes days after India and Australia signed the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (IndAus ECTA) on Saturday, 2nd April.  During the visit, I will take the ECTA to people, Shri Goyal said, adding that interactions had been planned with Business leaders, Indian students, diaspora, etc.

During the visit Shri Goyal will hold wide-ranging discussions with his Australian counterpart, Mr. Dan Tehan MP, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, on carrying forward the ECTA.

Shri Goyal will also hold talks with Mr. Tony Abbott, Australian PM’s Special Trade Envoy this evening.

I am delighted to be in Australia on a three day visit to explore prospects for boosting India-Australia trade, investment & economic ties. #IndAusECTA has opened the doors for a much closer & stronger bilateral engagement. 🇮🇳🇦🇺
