Education and technology continue to be priority sectors in the Australia–India partnership, indicated Vik Singh, Consul (Commercial) and Trade & Investment Commissioner, South Asia, Australian Trade and Investment Commission here on Tuesday.
Mr. Singh was speaking at an interactive session on Tariff-Free Access for Indian Exporters under India-Australia ECTA, at the Bangalore Chamber of Industry & Commerce (BCIC) in the City.
There was a growing momentum in Australia–India ties, with Karnataka playing a central role in this expanding partnership, he highlighted.
The Karnataka government had earlier said that University of New South Wales (UNSW) would open its campus in Bengaluru in August this year.
“As one of the world’s leading universities, UNSW’s decision to establish a presence in Bengaluru reflects the confidence Australian institutions have in Karnataka’s talent ecosystem and innovation potential,” Mr. Singh remarked, adding, “This campus will play a key role in strengthening academic collaboration, research partnerships and technology exchange between Australia and India.”
