India Joined  Australia Group

India on Friday joined the 42-member Australia Group, an elite export control regime against spread of chemical and biological weapons

India's formal induction as the 43rd member

The Australia Group is a multilateral export control regime (MECR) and an informal group of countries (now joined by the European Commission) established in 1985 (after the use of chemical weapons by Iraq in 1984) to help member countries to identify those exports which need to be controlled so as not to contribute to the spread of chemical and biological weapons.

The group, initially consisting of 15 members, held its first meeting in Brussels, Belgium, in September 1989.

With the incorporation of India on January 19, 2018, it now has 43 members,  including Australia, the European Commission, all 28 member states of the European Union, Ukraine, and Argentina. The name comes from Australia's initiative to create the group. Australia manages the secretariat.
