India joins WTO’s agreement on fisheries subsidies
India deposited its Instrument of Acceptance for the World Trade Organization's Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies on July 20, 2026, officially becoming a party to the agreement. This agreement aims to prohibit government support for illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, addressing global concerns over overfishing. The move aligns with India's commitment to sustainable fishing practices and may influence future trade negotiations.
