For more than two decades, Australia has been riding the wave of the ‘Asian Century’. But to increase our ongoing prosperity and security, we need to forge stronger bonds with our Indo-Pacific neighbours. Chief among these is India, whose economy is now the world’s fastest growing and presents a myriad of opportunities, yet our linkages with the subcontinent remain distinctly underdeveloped. In this talk, Tasmanian Senator Lisa Singh discusses the steps that can be taken to improve Australia-India relations. It will draw in particular from the recently released India Economic Strategy Report by Peter Varghese AO, whose key recommendations are supported by both major parties.
