It is with great pleasure that I extend my warm greetings as we celebrate the flourishing partnership between India and Australia through the India-Australia Business & Community Alliance (IABCA). 

IABCA has emerged as an active platform, instrumental in enhancing economic, cultural and social ties between our two countries. The dedication and commitment of all involved in advancing this significant bilateral relationship has been instrumental in this regard. 

Implementation of the India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement marks a significant milestone, propelling mutually beneficial bilateral trade ties to new heights. we are poised to further deepen our engagement and capitalize on the vast opportunities that lie ahead. Over the years, IABCA has facilitated invaluable exchanges, including round-table discussions between parliamentary dignitaries and business leaders, and conferring the prestigious IABCA Awards. These have fostered a robust network of enthusiastic stakeholders of over 1500 alumni and added vigour to their interaction. I am confident that IABCA will continue to play a pivotal role in strengthening our ties and contributing mutual prosperity. I extend my best wishes to IABCA for success of the initiatives benefitting our two countries and peoples.
