India–New Zealand
Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.
India and New Zealand have pursued a proposed Free Trade Agreement, with dairy and agricultural market access — where New Zealand holds strong export interests and India maintains protective non-tariff barriers — forming the central negotiating friction. People-to-people ties are sustained by the Indian diaspora in New Zealand. Bilaterally and under India's Act East and Indo-Pacific outreach, cooperation extends to Pacific engagement. FTA dynamics here illustrate how agricultural sensitivities and non-tariff barriers can stall negotiations even between non-adversarial partners, a pattern relevant to India's broader trade diplomacy across the Indo-Pacific.
