Sharing the momentous occasion on social media, McCaffrey greeted India with a warm Namaste and expressed his eagerness to begin his role with enthusiasm and a touch of uniqueness.

Green in an interview with CNBC-TV18 earlier said that “every global economy is interested in engaging with India.”

Green in an interview with CNBC-TV18 earlier said that “every global economy is interested in engaging with India.”  He noted that Australia holds a unique position in this engagement due to its abundant reserves of minerals, metals, critical minerals, and energy resources, which can significantly contribute to driving India’s economic growth. He said that the strategic alignment, economic complementarity, and the human bridge underpins the strong ties between the two nations.
