Later on Tuesday, I’ll be on my way to India. I’ll be joined on that trip by 25 CEOs and business leaders – in transport, resources, finance, higher education, architecture and energy – one of the biggest and most significant Australian business delegations to ever visit any of our trading partners.Australia and India are Indo-Pacific partners through the Quad – and I’m looking forward to hosting the Quad Leaders Summit in the middle of the year.

We want to work with business, to get things done, for the good of the nation. There are Australians enrolled in new courses, training for good jobs in areas of national priority, right now, as a result of that agreement.
