The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade this year is leveraging India’s 75th anniversary of independence on 15 August 2022 to promote the growing importance of the bilateral relationship with Australia, and the significant contributions of the Indian diaspora community to raising ‘India literacy’ in Australia.
