About
On NSG membership

India has been seeking entry into the NSG, a 48-nation grouping of nuclear supplier countries, which controls the export of nuclear material and technology. Switzerland had expressed support for India's NSG membership during Modi's visit to the country in June 2016. Speaking to Leuthard, Modi stated that the NSG membership would help India meet its clean energy targets under the Paris Agreement.

Details
Crackdown on black money

India and Switzerland agreed to strengthen cooperation to fight tax evasion and black money during Modi's 2016 visit to Switzerland. In their most recent discussions, Modi termed financial transparency an issue of international concern. Leuthard expressed hope that the Swiss Parliament would clear a law on automatic exchange of information by end-2017. Both leaders also discussed new ways to collaborate on the matter.

Information
Leuthard stresses on trade

Highlighting trade as an important issue, Leuthard emphasized the importance of arriving at a pragmatic solution to the long-pending free trade agreement between India and a four-nation European bloc. She also highlighted the need for a bilateral investment protection arrangement.
