NEW DELHI, Nov. 21 -- India and Australia have common challenges to address in the current complex geopolitical situation, including maritime security, countering terrorism, resilient supply chains and ensuring climate action, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday at the 16th India-Australia Foreign Ministers' Framework Dialogue in Delhi. "I think it is clearly evident that democracies like India and Australia carry greater responsibility, there are common challenges for us to address... So it is essential that we sustain the strong momentum in our ties, that we deliver tangible outcomes, that we work together to achieve this through shared regional and global priorities," he said in his opening remarks ahead of discussions with Australian foreign minister Penny Wong. The dialogue seeks to set the course for a more ambitious, future-focused agenda to take the bilateral partnership into its next phase; the two sides are looking at deepening cooperation across a raft of domains including cyber, trade, maritime security, defence, sports and people-to-people ties. As India and Australia mark five years of their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, there has been a remarkable expansion across all pillars of bilateral cooperation including trade and investment, defence and security, education and skills, research and innovation, science and technology, space, energy, and people-to-people links, Jaishankar said. "The Foreign Ministers' Framework Dialogue has been one of the key pillars of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and it surely reflects the trust, the democratic values, and a common vision for a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific."...
