Australia Wants Comprehensive Trade Deal With India: Tony Abbott After Bilateral Talks With PM Modi

Canberra: Australia's next priority is to conclude a comprehensive trade partnership deal with India, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Tuesday during a state visit to Canberra by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Australia on Monday finalised a landmark free trade deal with China more than ten years in the making.

"We want to go further and that's why the next priority for Australia is a comprehensive economic partnership agreement with India," Abbott said.

"If I may say so, this is a moment in time. This is the time to get this done."
