Bolstering our ties with India

Australia and India are Indo-Pacific partners with a shared vision for a resilient, inclusive and open region.

The Australia India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, announced in 2020, underpins our relationship, and our connections continue to grow and expand as both countries invest in its future.

Australia has announced a new suite of initiatives to continue to bolster our economic, science, cyber, people-to-people and environmental ties with India.
