Australian envoy Philip Green hails ties between India, Australia

Lauding the bilateral partnership between New Delhi and Canberra, the Ambassador of Australia to India, Philip Green OAM highlighted a remarkable two-way trade that has grown by more than 50 per cent over the past five years, adding that India is the most consequential relationship.

Emphasizing India’s paramount significance in their bilateral relations, he expressed his commitment to proactive engage during his tenure and said that, as Australia’s 22nd High Commissioner to India, he is “here to get things done.”

In his keynote address at the Asia Society Policy Institute, here in the national capital, the Australian Ambassador to India said, “For me, assuming this role as Australia’s 22nd High Commissioner to India is the pinnacle of his career. India is the most consequential relationship, at the most critical moment, I have ever worked on. It is a privilege for me to be here today.”

Affirming his dedication to advancing the partnership between the countries and echoing the directive he received from the Prime Minister to propel the relationship to new heights, he said, “Our relationship is at the highest point in our history. But I’m not here to rest on laurels. I’m here to get more things done. I’m here to drive the relationship further and to drive it faster. That’s what the Prime Minister told me to do when he sent me here.”

Asia Society Policy Institute, notably a division of Asia Society India Centre, is a think-and-do tank designed to bring about changes that incorporate the best ideas from top experts in Asia and to work with policymakers to integrate these ideas and put them into practice.

Speaking further, the Australian envoy also talked at length about India-Australia trade ties, the Indo-Pacific and QUAD (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue).
