“Last week Prime Ministers Morrison and Modi, held a virtual summit—India's first. It was a landmark moment in the ties between our nations,” Minister Payne said.

It started with 'Namaste' and 'Khichdi' talks. An hour-later, Australia signed comprehensive strategic partnership with India

Minister Payne who was present alongside the Prime Minister during the virtual summit told the Parliament that Australia had signed eight important deals with India.

“In addition to the CSP text itself, we've signed eight substantive agreements that will strengthen technical cooperation and create new opportunities for Australian businesses. We'll work more closely than ever with India to build our ties in mining and critical minerals, in vocational education, training, water resources, public administration, science and technology and defence,” she said.

“The Defence Minister, Minister Reynolds, and I are very pleased that we've also agreed to foreign and defence minister two- plus-two meetings at least every two years. Australia is just the third country to join such meetings with India, along with Japan and the United States.”

Minister Payne also hailed the contribution of the Indian diaspora in Australia, especially in Western Sydney.

“Our partnership is grounded in strong people-to-people links and the invaluable contribution of Indian migrants to modern Australia. As a proud resident of Western Sydney, I can tell you that Harris Park wouldn't be the same without the contribution of our Western Sydney Indian community and so many vibrant members of the Indian diaspora in Australia,” she added.

Indian population in Australia grows by 11 per cent in a year


Latest figures released by the ABS reveal the Indian population in Australia has grown to 660,000 in 2019.

India has been Australia’s biggest source of migrants since 2016.

The trend has also resulted in Indian migrants being the top source of new Australian citizens. Over 28,000 Indian nationals became Australian citizens last year.

It's not for Pakistanis and CCP bots to teach Australians who they wants to be friends with. CCP and its cheerleaders should stop crying over this. You can make similar comprehensive strategic partnership with North Korea.
