The relationship between India and Australia is advancing at a remarkable pace, with education and economic growth serving as the foundation, reported timesofindia.indiatimes.com.
Lisa Singh, CEO of the Australia India Institute, emphasized the evolving partnership, highlighting the significant role played by the Indian diaspora and governmental initiatives in fostering these ties.
“We are certainly a lot closer as partners today than we were ten or twenty years ago,” Singh remarked, attributing the progress to cooperation across various sectors. She underscored the importance of people-to-people connections, especially with the Indian community in Australia now numbering one million. Singh described the Indian population as the “glue” that strengthens this relationship, particularly in areas like business, clean energy, and education.
“Education is an incredibly important part of our community and economy,” Allan stated, stressing the ongoing collaboration between educational institutions in India and Victoria. She also highlighted shared priorities in economic sectors such as renewable energy, transport infrastructure, and housing, where India and Australia can collaborate closely.
Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan, during a recent visit to India, echoed this view, describing the bilateral relationship as “incredibly strong.” Victoria is home to the largest number of Indian-born Australians and international students, making education a crucial driver of the growing partnership.
Allan’s visit to India also focused on women’s leadership, with discussions centering on expanding opportunities for women in both countries. She emphasized that strengthening education and economic prospects for women would yield benefits for both nations.
Both Singh and Allan agree that the deepening partnership between India and Australia is underpinned by shared values and mutual benefits in the areas of education, business, and renewable energy, promising a prosperous future for both nations.
