External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said in this complicated world, it is the trust between like-minded partners such as India and Australia that is helping in efforts to secure a free, open, peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region along with a rules-based international order.
In his virtual address at the sixth edition of the Australia-India Leadership Dialogue (AILD), Mr. Jaishankar said a driving force of the relationship is the convergence in understanding of, and approach to, the geostrategic environment, particularly in the common Indo-Pacific region.
The AILD has quite aptly used the phrase 'Bridges of Bharosa (trust)' as one of its themes, he noted.
