India and ASEAN will hold their next joint review of the goods trade agreement in January 2027. Both sides want to speed up talks on updating the 2009 pact.
The joint committee has asked its sub-groups to close pending chapters and agree on firmer timelines. Negotiators are under pressure to move the process forward.
ASEAN makes up about 11% of India’s global trade, which keeps the bloc central to New Delhi’s trade ties.
