India has assisted Sri Lanka through its current economic crisis. Right across the Bay of Bengal, we are responding to the needs of our partners, including through connectivity, trade and energy, and maritime partnerships in the East Indian Ocean.Īustralia and India take our commitments to our regional partners seriously. India and Australia have shown that when we work in partnership, as in the wake of Tonga’s devastating underwater earthquake, we are greater than the sum of our parts. We see enormous potential in the Indian and Pacific oceans, where we each have vital interests in combating climate change, illegal fishing and people smuggling and responding to humanitarian crises and natural disasters. Our government is focused on making Australia a renewable energy superpower, and we want to see India emerge as a clean technology manufacturing powerhouse.Īs our bilateral relationship deepens, we must begin to work more together with others in the region. As we do on ethical critical mineral and resource production, cutting-edge renewable technology research and development, skills and education, waste and the circular economy, business, investment, and advanced manufacturing.

In Australia, we will open an Australia-based Centre for India-Australia Relations to propel and strengthen our community, institutional and business ties - including through a suite of new Maitri (mateship) scholarships, fellowships, and partnerships.

The update includes a five-year action plan for the Australian Government to achieve the long-term ambitions set out in the landmark 2018 India Economic Strategy to 2035. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to see these capabilities in action, flying alongside dedicated Indian P-8 personnel.Īustralia has also committed to a package of partnership initiatives in our update to the India Economic Strategy. This year we have deployed P-8 surveillance aircraft to each other’s territories for joint patrols. We coordinate closely on maritime domain awareness. Last year, Indian military officials observed our Exercise Talisman Sabre, and I have renewed the invitation for India’s forces to participate fully in future iterations of this exercise.
