Albanese is seeking to ‘diversify’ trade links for a ‘more secure’ economyAustralia is seeking to “deepen and diversify” its trade links as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese travels to India with “one of the biggest and most significant” business delegations ever assembled in Australia. “By any measure, Australia is a better place because of our large, diverse and aspirational Indian-Australian community – the fastest growing group in Australia,” Mr Albanese said at a speech during the 2023 Business Summit on Tuesday. “In 2021-22, India was only Australia’s sixth largest goods and services trading partner … we can elevate that. “Our government is seeking to deepen and diversify Australia’s trade links, greater diversity in who we trade with and greater variety in what we trade.” Mr Albanese said this would mean the Australian economy would be “more resilient and more secure” with “one in four” Australian jobs relying on international trade as he expressed his determination to create more jobs in the export industry for the global expanse of Australian companies.
