Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi met Australian High Commissioner to India Philip Green and London School of Economics Professor Susan Marks in New Delhi on Wednesday, according to the All India Congress Committee.
Marks is Professor of International Law at the London School of Economics. She joined the university in 2010 after teaching at King’s College London and the University of Cambridge. She is also a Fellow of the British Academy.
The meeting with Green comes as India and Australia continue to expand cooperation across bilateral and regional areas.
Earlier this month, Green spoke about India’s growing international role while discussing the BRICS Summit hosted by India. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, describing them as “giants” on the world stage.
Green also pointed to the Quad, which brings together India, Australia, Japan and the United States, as an important part of Australia’s engagement with India.
He said the grouping was expanding its work and becoming more closely coordinated, with areas such as maritime domain awareness and subsea cables among the issues being discussed.
Green also referred to a Quad tabletop exercise in Tokyo focused on the Indo-Pacific Logistics Network, saying the four countries were concentrating on practical areas of cooperation across the region.
Agriculture and agricultural technology were among the areas Green identified for closer India-Australia cooperation. He said Australia was looking at ways to connect its agricultural technology with Indian expertise and local requirements, including through ongoing free trade negotiations.
Health technology was another area raised by the High Commissioner. Green highlighted cochlear implant technology developed in Australia and its use in India, including versions adapted for the Indian population.
He said greater access to cochlear implants could improve opportunities for people with profound hearing loss.
The meeting between Gandhi, Green and Marks comes as India-Australia ties continue to cover trade, technology, agriculture, healthcare and regional cooperation through forums such as the Quad.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
