Trade and security ties with India gathering pace: Australian Speaker

The Hindu  

Security and trade cooperation between India and Australia are gathering pace, and relations between the two “rich and vibrant democracies” have never been stronger, said Milton Dick, Speaker of Australia’s House of Representatives. In an interview with The Hindu, Mr. Dick said Australia is currently resetting its relationship with China, but its ties with India are “unique” with trade, security, and people-to-people dimensions. Regarding Australia’s ties with China, which had taken a hit recently before the Labor government of Anthony Albanese and Beijing took measures to improve ties, Mr. Dick said, “Discussions are occurring. Working in these organisations makes sure that the countries cooperate strategically but also to better understand each country’s operations and also how we can better support each other.” Asked if India’s position on the Ukraine war, which is different from that of Australia and its other Western partners, was an area of difference between the two, the Speaker said, “Australia respects India’s decisions.
