Shri Pradhan praised Australia’s management of its natural resources, such as minerals, and suggested that the two nations should look into ways to replicate these methods in India and prepare young people for the next job responsibilities. He mentioned a number of fields that may be thoroughly investigated, including agricultural technology, mining, water management, renewable energy, and emerging technologies like AI and robotics.
The minister emphasized that this is the best moment for India-Australia engagement which is already at a historic high. Recalling the signing of the agreement on Mutual Recognition of Qualification between the two countries earlier this year, he called for the implementation of the same so that two-way mobility of students and skilled persons between the two countries could be facilitated.
Shri Pradhan has also invited Minister O’ Conner for the 7th meeting of the Australia-India Education and Skills Council in Gandhinagar in September this year. This meeting will provide an opportunity to give further impetus to collaboration in education and skill development between the two countries.
Minister O’Connor also spoke about deepening the collaboration between the two countries. He said the restoration of student mobility is a priority for his country and they are working to make their visa process more efficient.
Under PM Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership, India and Australia have witnessed the strengthening of ties in recent years. Mutual Recognition of Educational and Skill Qualifications, Deakin University coming to India and ongoing expanding cooperation in skill development have happened recently.
