Strategic Agenda 2026–2030
A focused path to shared progress.
Proposed strategic agenda
A proposed programme to turn bilateral commercial interest into qualified opportunities, structured engagement and accountable follow-through.
THE LONG-TERM AMBITION
Help grow bilateral trade
toward $10 billion.
Our proposed agenda is organised around a long-term bilateral-trade ambition. The Council aims to contribute through practical business facilitation—not through promises of guaranteed transactions or returns.
BILATERAL TRADE AMBITION$10bn
An ambition—not current trade, an achieved result or a guaranteed outcome.
THE PROPOSED FOUR-YEAR ARC
Build deliberately.
Grow responsibly.
The sequence moves from foundation to sectoral depth, broader scale and lasting institutional capacity.
Sectoral Depth
Proposed plan: consider Business Week, targeted missions, an investment forum and measurable deal-progression tracking.
Scale
Proposed plan: broaden sector activation, consider construction-phase positioning where relevant, and replicate working models.
Legacy
Proposed plan: develop policy dialogue, a knowledge hub, mandate renewal and a 2030–2034 roadmap.
THE FIRST 100 DAYS
From alignment
to an operating rhythm.
Days 1–30
Alignment
Proposed first-30-day plan: institutional consultations, Board coordination, founding-member outreach, and agreement on escalation routes and focal points.
Days 31–70
Focus
Proposed plan: confirm the three-sector shortlist, build the initial opportunity register, and begin sponsor and market consultations.
Days 71–100
Operating rhythm
Proposed plan: refine Year 1 with clear owners, establish a meeting cadence and schedule first convenings.
Day counts run from an agreed programme start date. No launch date or event schedule is being announced here.
FIRST-YEAR DELIVERY
Milestones with
a clear sequence.
Launch & Align
Proposed sequence, subject to start date and approvals: Board coordination, draft bylaws, government liaison and founding-member outreach.
Diagnose & Convene
Proposed: a trade-barrier diagnostic, bilingual investment guide and first sector working sessions.
Match & Mobilise
Proposed: targeted business mission, EV and agro technical roundtables, and an opportunity register if approvals and owners are in place.
Report & Reset
Proposed: Year 1 impact report, AGM and Board review, and Year 2 programme confirmation.
Quarterly timing remains subject to the programme start date, institutional alignment and approvals.
