1. Where did India's External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, inaugurate a new Indian consulate to strengthen India-Australia relations?
The inauguration of the new Indian consulate in Brisbane marks a significant step in fostering stronger ties between India and Australia. Brisbane, being a strategic location, will facilitate enhanced cultural exchange, educational linkages, and economic cooperation between the two nations. As India's fourth consulate in Australia, it will cater to the growing Indian community in Queensland, particularly students, and support initiatives preserving Indian heritage. This move underscores India's commitment to nurturing its diaspora and promoting people-to-people connections with Australia.
