Australia and India have long been described as natural partners. We share a relationship that has expanded and deepened enormously over the past few years – a partnership that is based on the solid foundation of our economic and strategic cooperation. The growth of the Indian diaspora in Australia over the past decade has brought our peoples closer together than ever.
Australia Fest is a unique opportunity to celebrate the depth of engagement between our two countries and help build the understanding that will pave the way towards a richer partnership.
From September 2018 to March 2019, we will share with Indian audiences Australia’s cultural diversity, creativity, and dynamism through major events across India. Australia Fest events will focus on music, art, food, film, literature, dance, theatre, sport, ideas and much more.
I warmly thank our sponsors and partners for their generous support towards Australia Fest, which has enabled us to deliver an exciting platform to collaborate, share knowledge and build stronger partnerships for the future.
I invite you to experience the diversity and dynamism of Australian culture. Come, see and engage with Australia, in your city and through our online platforms, and see what we have to offer.
