External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar today termed India-Australia 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue as productive. In his opening remarks during the Dialogue in New Delhi, Dr Jaishankar said both the countries are meeting at a very crucial time when, along with a pandemic, the geo-political environment is in rapid flux.
He said the two countries with other like minded partners should respond adequately to safeguard their national interests as well as ensure a peaceful, stable, and prosperous Indo-Pacific region. Dr Jaishankar said the meeting is an opportunity to review and take forward the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for another meeting between the Prime Ministers of two countries later this month in the United States.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar are leading the Indian side in the Dialogue. Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne and Defence Minister Peter Dutton are leading the Australian delegation.
