Blacktown City Deputy Mayor Tony Bleasdale said Blacktown City Council’s trade mission to India is an example of Council’s commitment to the economic growth of our City.

“Blacktown’s current economy is $15.6 billion and growing. The trade mission to India will give businesses in Western Sydney an opportunity to meet and develop relationships with businesses and dignitaries in India . It will also be an opportunity for us to enhance existing links with one of the fastest growing economies in the world.”
