Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal met Liechtenstein’s Hereditary Prince Alois on 28 October to discuss investment and industrial cooperation. The talks focused on opportunities under the India–European Free Trade Association Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement.

The agreement entered into force on 1 October 2025. It includes an aim for EFTA states to increase foreign direct investment into India by 100 billion US dollars over 15 years and facilitate one million direct jobs. Those are agreement objectives, rather than outcomes achieved at this meeting.

The discussions covered precision engineering, advanced manufacturing, industrial technology, research and links with Indian suppliers and smaller businesses. Goyal invited Liechtenstein companies to explore partnerships. The ministry’s account does not announce a new signed investment commitment or project-specific contract.
