AITIGA, sometimes seen in the news recently, is an agreement associated with which of the following?

Recently, the Minister of Commerce & Industry and Railways and the Minister of Industry and Trade of Vietnam co-chaired the 17th ASEAN-India Economic Ministers’ Consultations.

• The Ministers’ discussion centred on the review of the ASEAN India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA).

About AITIGA

• In 2003, India and ASEAN signed a Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Economic Cooperation to establish an Asean-India Regional Trade and Investment Area, which would provide a basis for subsequent FTAs covering goods, services and investment.
• The ASEAN-India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA) was signed in 2009 and it is this that both sides have agreed to review.

Hence option 2nd is correct.
