In a move to expand the economic engagement between Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Australia, Australian high commissioner Barry O'Farrell met UP chief secretary RK Tiwari on Thursday (25 February), reports Hindustan Times.

There are a lot of investment opportunities in UP in food processing, transport, agriculture, medical and health, education, cooperatives, logistics and warehousing," said Tiwari as quoted in the statement.
