Summary:

  • A business forum between India and New Zealand was held to discuss the expansion of economic relations.
  • Leaders from both countries emphasized the importance of free trade agreements (FTA).
  • New areas of cooperation highlighted include agriculture, tourism, technology, education, sports, drone technology, and space.

2. Considering the Background

The economic relationship between India and New Zealand is becoming increasingly significant in recent years. Free trade agreements lower trade barriers between the two countries, facilitating the flow of goods and services. Strengthening international economic ties could also impact our daily lives. For example, advancements in technology sharing between the two countries may introduce new products and services into our lives. Let’s think about how such movements shape our future.

3. What Will the Future Hold?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Cooperation Between India and New Zealand is Commonplace

As economic cooperation progresses and trade becomes more active, many companies will conduct business between the two countries as a norm. This will increase the choices of products and create benefits for consumers. Ultimately, having a global perspective will become commonplace and international cooperation will be further strengthened.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future with Significant Development in New Technologies and Industries

Deepening cooperation in technology and education between India and New Zealand could lead to the emergence of new industries and accelerate technological innovation. Collaborative research and development by companies and universities may yield groundbreaking technologies and services. Such initiatives will provide new career opportunities for young people and expand hope for the future.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Regional Characteristics Diminish

While economic connections deepen, there is concern that the culture and characteristics of each region may wane. The advancement of globalization may cause locally unique products and traditions to lose their distinctiveness due to foreign influences. As a result, there is an increased risk of similar products and cultures spreading worldwide.

5. What Would You Do?
