Talking about the ties between the two countries, the education minister said, “India and Australia share some common things. Both aspirations are similar though the sizes of both countries are different; the strategy roadmap and aspirations are similar. I observe closely the development of Australia over the last 50 years”.

Australian Education Minister Jason Clare also attended the event, who is on a four-day visit to the country.

Minister Jason Clare also announced that noted former cricketer Adam Gilchrist, the global brand ambassador of Wollongong University, will help in setting up the university campus in India.
