The Australia India Chamber of Commerce at Melbourne recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of Indian independence. More than five hundred guests represented the success of the Indian Australian community and the depth of the Australia-India relationship after the trade agreement at a star-studded gala dinner.
The Chairperson of the Australia India Chamber of Commerce, Chris Mooney set the tone of the evening by outlining the six most important factors about an upbeat India to open the celebrations.
“First, India is soon to be the world’s biggest population, proving that democracy and large populations can work.
Second, India is now a major regional security power in the Indo-Pacific Region.
Third, it is leading in many areas of innovation – for example, the two-wheeler market in India could reach 100% electric by 2026.
Fourth, India is the world’s most diverse democracy with 22 separate official languages, a total of 121 languages and 270 mother tongues.
Fifth, the Indian economy is the fastest growing of all developed nations’ economies – showing the “can do” drive of modern India.
Sixth, India has gifted the practice of yoga and ayurvedic medicine to the world.”
Australia’s Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell announced that he would lead a delegation of business leaders to India to strengthen the hard work of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in the last couple of years.
Indian High Commissioner Manpreet Vohra characterised Australia-India relations as one of the best among the current world order. Vohra emphasised the need to strengthen business and community organisations to fully utilise the growing cooperation and collaboration between the two countries, reported theaustraliatoday.
