Canberra, Oct 10 (PTI) India and Australia have recognised that the strategic Indo-Pacific region is being “reshaped” both economically and strategically, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Monday, underling that the partnership with India is a “critical part” of shaping the region, amidst China’s aggressive posturing.
Wong said during a press conference on Monday with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who arrived in Canberra from New Zealand.
“Australia and India are comprehensive strategic partners. We are QUAD partners. We partner in many other ways and most fundamentally, we share a region, the Indo-Pacific region and between our countries, we span a great breadth of the Indo-Pacific,” she said after both minister held 13th Foreign Ministers’ Framework Dialogue.
