The Gujarat government wants to encourage foreign businesses and investors to look at the state not only as an investment destination but also for commerce and trade opportunities.
Talking about the government's Vibrant Summit 2019, Consul General B. Vanlalvawna said: "It is a great platform for Australian businesses to invest in Gujarat as it is one of the developing states of the country."
"India's primary objective is to make the country more business friendly."
For Australia, India is their biggest export destination, and its export grew up by 60% in 2017.
New South Wales former premier and special envoy to India, Berry O'Farrell, said, "For Australia, relations with India are important, and there are many reasons that Australia should take India seriously."
"It is not only because of the economic opportunities, but the strategic direction of the government of India is showing Australian businesses how to invest in the country."
