This week 30 corporate and university chiefs will join Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on a visit to India.
The time is right to shake up Australia’s views on India, according to ANZ chief executive Shayne Elliott, who will join a 30-strong high-powered delegation of corporate and university chiefs accompanying“I’ve been going to India for 30 years and sadly, there have been some false dawns. This time it feels different. There has been real reform,” Mr Elliott said.ANZ is one of the few Australian companies with a sizable business in India.
Mr Elliott will meet with staff and customers before joining the delegation who will accompany the prime minister as Australia looks to bolster the security partnership and build trade and business ties as a hedge against China’s growing assertiveness. “Our relationship with India is strong, but it can be stronger. It is underpinned by our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which underscores a joint commitment to working together to enhance our defence, economic, and technological interests,” Mr Albanese said.“A stronger India-Australia partnership is good for the stability of our region. It also means more opportunities and more trade and investment, strengthening our economies and directly benefiting our people.
“This delegation will put some of the biggest investors and most significant businesses from Australia in the room with political and business leaders from both nations, it will be the start of closer and more intense engagement.”
