Australia’s Opposition Leader and former Defence
Minister Peter Dutton is set to make a momentous visit to Bharat accompanied by
a delegation of 20 influential industrialists.
This visit is in preparation for their participation
in a pivotal 4-day Economic Trade Delegation Summit, scheduled to commence on
November 1.
The delegation is organised by the India-Australia
Strategic Alliance, under the guidance of its Chairman, Dr Jagvinder Singh
Virk, who is committed to promoting strategic trade between India and
Australia.
This visit comes as a response to Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s invitation to Peter Dutton, with the primary aim of
establishing a Strategic Trade Alliance for mutual investments between the two
nations.
The event, known as the Economic Trade Delegation
Summit, is slated to take place at the Hotel Leela Palace from November 1-4,
2023 and its primary objective is to foster prosperous trade and business
alliances, building upon the Free Trade Agreement inked by the Indian and
Australian Governments in 2022.
This year’s Economic Trade Delegation carries the
overarching theme, “Driving Businesses to the Next Effective Levels,”
signifying its goal to enhance growth and productivity across various sectors.
The summit focuses on industries such as Education,
Space, Agriculture, Information Technology, Health Care, Financial Technology,
Rural Development, Defence, and Renewable Energy.
India’s vast and diverse population adds significant
weight to the role of social enterprises in driving business success. These
enterprises strike a balance between profitability and social impact, making
them instrumental in international collaborations.
The summit further underscores the pivotal role played
by business mentorship, funding support, and market understanding in enabling
the success of global partnerships. By emphasizing the significance of social
enterprises, this initiative aligns with the developmental goals of both India
and Australia, contributing to the prosperity of both nations.
Peter Dutton’s visit signifies his commitment to
strengthening the relationship between Australia and India. As the leader of
the Liberal Party, his inaugural visit to India follows a resounding victory in
a recent referendum.
This visit not only highlights his expanding
leadership roles but also underscores his deep appreciation for India. It is a
testament to the evolving and essential bilateral relationship between the two
nations.
The Economic and Trade Delegation, set for November
1-4, 2023, includes focused sessions designed to maximize the impact of
businesses and support systems that promote the growth of Indian and Australian
companies.
In a cultural engagement aspect of the visit, the
delegation will pay a visit to the Akshardham Temple on the morning of November
1 and offer their respects at the Sri Bangla Sahib Gurdwara on the morning of
November 2, 2023.
