South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas is heading to India next month, aiming to build on the state’s growing ties with the world’s fastest-expanding major economy.
The visit is set to focus on international education, investment in clean energy and space, and expanding trade in a market that already brings South Australia over a billion dollars in exports.
“I am determined to ensure we are doing everything we can to seize every opportunity in the fastest-growing major economy in the world,” Malinauskas said.
With an expanding Indian community in South Australia, he is keen to explore the possibility of direct flights between Adelaide and India, a move that could open up greater business and tourism opportunities.
India is already the biggest source of international students for South Australia, and the launch of the new Adelaide University next year is expected to attract even more students. Malinauskas discussed the state’s strong profile as an education hub with Indian High Commissioner Gopal Baglay, emphasising how international students contribute to the economy, community, and workforce.
His trip is expected to strengthen partnerships in key industries and build deeper economic ties between South Australia and India, a relationship that has been steadily expanding in recent years.
