Anthony Albanese expressed his desire to further develop Australia's relationship with India earlier in the day before his visit, saying that it was important to do so at a time of rapid expansion and dynamism, particularly in the areas of trade, security, and people-to-people ties. "This trip demonstrates our commitment to deepening our links with India, and to being a force for stability and growth in our region. We have a historic opportunity to strengthen our relationship with India, at a time of extraordinary growth and dynamism in our region," he said.
On his four-day journey, Mr. Albanese is accompanied by a group of ministers and business executives. He will go to Mumbai after Ahmedabad on Thursday before landing in New Delhi later in the day.
