India, Australia deal that Morrison is celebrating
On 2 April, India and Australia Sealing signed an Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (IndAus ECTA) which is expected to provide zero-duty access to 96 per cent of India’s exports to Australia including shipments from key sectors including engineering goods, gems and jewellery, textiles, apparel and leather. Leaders of both the countries hailed the deal as a “watershed moment” and “one of the biggest economic doors there is to open in the world.”
As per government estimates, the pact is expected to give a fillip to bilateral trade in goods and services to $45-50 billion over five years, up from around $27 billion, and generate over one million jobs in India. The agreement will also give about 85 per cent of Australia’s exports zero-duty access to the Indian market, including coal, sheep meat and wool, and lower duty access on Australian wines, almonds, lentils, and certain fruits. Notably, it is not for the first time Morrison prepared Indian delicacy.
Back on 31 May, 2020, the Australian PM shared samosas and Mango chutney which he made all from scratch and he dubbed as “ScoMosas”. He tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the post and back then had said that he would love to share them with PM Modi.
The tweet reached Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he replied saying the popular Indian snacks prepared by Scott Morrison looked “delicious”.
