NSC co-leads Australian parliamentary engagement with India and Germany

A highlight this month was the Global Dialogue parliamentary exchange program, facilitated by the Berlin-based Global Public Policy Institute in partnership with NSC, and generously supported by the Robert Bosch foundation.

Following Germany-Australia bilateral meetings in Canberra last year, the program brought together German and Australian parliamentarians for trilateral meetings in India – including with India's Minister for External Affairs, Dr Jaishankar. The program also included a tour of India’s new parliament building, plus in-depth discussions with think tanks, academics and civil society voices.

The College remains committed to supporting the geopolitical awareness of Australian parliamentarians, which made this international program an excellent extension of our NS23 and NS24 parliamentary briefing series.

Sincere thanks to our institutional delivery partners and participating parliamentarians, as well as the Australian High Commission and Germany Embassy in India for their support.
