External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar today said India has put in place a framework in which relationship with Australia will grow further in the times to come.

Addressing the Indian community at Brisbane on the first leg of his two-nation tour, Mr Jaishankar said India is on a high growth trajectory and wants to grow with the world. He said there is no doubt that the Quad ranks right up there, and Australia is a founding partner of that mechanism in terms of our bilateral ties. He said India has comprehensive strategic partnership with select countries in the world and  Australia happens to be one.

He mentioned that there are numerous opportunities for global cooperation in the fields of education and research.

During his visit, Jaishankar will inaugurate India’s fourth consulate in Australia in Brisbane. He will also co-chair the 15th Foreign Ministers’ Framework Dialogue (FMFD) with his Australian counterpart Penny Wong in Canberra.

He will deliver the keynote address at the inaugural session of the 2nd Raisina Down Under to be held in the Australian Parliament House.
