SA kicks off India trade strategy SOUTH Australia has kicked off a 10-year strategy to engage more with India with the first meeting of a new group brought together to drive the plan. The South Australia-India Council's brief is to have SA become a significant trade and investment partner with India. Trade Minister Tom Kenyon said the strategy identified key sectors of the economy that could take advantage of India's rapid development and create local jobs. "This team will focus efforts on the industry sectors identified in the India strategy - aerospace and defence, energy and natural resources, education and training and clean technology," Mr Kenyon said on Monday. Commercial possibilities will be identified and prioritised and trade and investment strategies developed to ensure South Australia can respond rapidly and flexibly. The minister said engaging more with India was part of South Australia's desire to be more outward-looking and open to economic opportunities afforded by export markets.
