At the meeting, IPEF members signed multiple agreements which are first-of-their-kind approaches to address 21st century challenges and strengthen economic engagement across Indo-Pacific.

Key outcomes of the meet

  • IPEF Clean Economy Agreement: To accelerate efforts of IPEF partners towards energy security and transition, climate resilience and adaptation, GHG emissions mitigation, etc.
  • IPEF Fair Economy Agreement: To create a more transparent and predictable business environment in member countries.
