November 11, 2014 10:35
With the issue of addressing the issue of unaccounted money having a prime place in political debate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will highlight global cooperation in this regard at the coming G20 countries' summit in Brisbane, Australia.
He begins a 10-day and three-nation visit from Tuesday, to Myanmar, Australia and Fiji, in that order.
The tour will begin in the Myanmarese capital of Nay Pyi Taw, where Modi will attend the Asean-India summit and the East Asia Summit on Wednesday and Thursday.
"A key issue for me would be to highlight the importance of international cooperation against black money," Modi said in a pre-departure statement. He is expected to renew the country's commitment to a global response on cross-border tax evasion.

However, the country is still to sign a treaty on automatic exchange of information on tax issues, due to uncertainty over interpretation of confidential clauses in these by the judiciary.
Modi is likely to be asked questions on this at G-20 by other members.
