India and Australia – The trade agreement to include upskilling

The planned Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement between Australia and India will enable Australia to contribute to the mass upskilling of India’s youth population, said Belinda Robinson, chief executive of Universities Australia, this week. 

The agreement, which is expected to be finalised at the end of the year, is being seen as an opportunity for both nations to prosper under aligned economic and trade interests.

Speaking from the Australia-India CEOs Forum in New Delhi, Robinson praised the CECA for placing an emphasis on education and other service sectors.

“The CECA has the potential to deliver the strong leadership framework to expand trade in education services enabling Australian universities to contribute to India’s great challenge of skilling up its population,” she said.
