The relationship between Australia and India has never been stronger 🇦🇺🇮🇳
And today we’re building on our ties in defence, trade, investment and energy.
As well as our work in education and technology.
Because together, we can be a force for peace and prosperity in our region.

Deepening engagement and building alignment with our region is central to Australia’s security and prosperity. Pleased to have attended the launch of the Parliamentary Friends of Asia Capability.

Diversity is a strength of modern Australia.
And no matter what language you speak, or faith you practice - every Australian deserves to feel safe, respected and valued.
Great to talk with locals in South East Melbourne today.

Australia’s @AusIndiaCentre CAIR promotes business, policy, culture through Indian-Australian diaspora communities. CAIR Chair Swati Dave and CEO Ryan Neelam visited #Bengaluru and met #business, #tech and #culture leaders, including @Infosys, @Telstra, and #MaitriStories alumni.
Thanks so much, @mfullilove, it's been a real privilege to have the chance to contribute to the national debate @LowyInstitute, and learn from such outstanding colleagues. You have built a gem of a national institution.
Congratulations to my friend and @LowyInstitute colleague @RyanNeelam on his well-deserved appointment as CEO of the @AusIndiaCentre. I’m looking forward to working with you in your new capacity, Ryan!

There was a hugely important announcement today at COP30: South Korea joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, and in doing so, announced it will not build any new coal plants and will shut down 40 existing plants by 2040. As the country with the 7th largest coal fleet, this is a significant signal to the rest of the world. I offer my sincere thanks and congratulations to President Lee Jae-Myung on this action. koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/…
