The newly appointed Indian Consul General to Western Australia, Kajari Biswas, has been warmly welcomed by business and community leaders as she begins her posting in Perth.
Michael Carter, Head of International Trade and Investment Services at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia (CCIWA), shared on LinkedIn: “Wonderful to meet the recently arrived Indian Consul General to Western Australia, Ms Kajari Biswas.”
“It was a pleasure to brief her on CCIWA’s past and future engagement with the Consulate and key stakeholders such as the Australia India Business Council, as part of our shared commitment to strengthening the WA–India bilateral trade and investment relationship.”
He noted the rapid growth of WA–India trade across sectors and expressed confidence in deepening these “vital partnerships” with Biswas and her team.
Echoing the sentiment, Vinod Daniel, CEO of the India Vision Institute, also welcomed Biswas to Australia: “India is very well represented in Australia with excellent diplomats based out of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra.”
“Speaks well for the strong partnership between Australia and India with Australian diplomats present in Chennai, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Delhi.”
Daniel was joined at the dinner by Nashid Chowdhury, who previously led Western Australia’s presence in India, and Petula Thomas, former CEO of the India Australia Chamber of Commerce.
Biswas, an Indian Foreign Service officer from the 2008 batch, previously served as Director of the Policy, Planning & Research Division at the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi.
