Anil Wadhwa, Former Ambassador & Secretary Ministry of External Affairs

It gives me great pleasure to extend my support to the India Australia Business and Community Awards (IABCA).

Over the past few years, this platform has proved its worth as an effective means to further enhance the multifaceted and growing India - Australia partnership. Investments, trade, people to people contacts, tourism , education, culture as well as sports are the pillars on which the India - Australia partnership can be strengthened and consolidated in the years to come.

The IABCA platform is contributing with renewed vigour every year to the India - Australia relationship by recognising those who have put their best foot forward in this endeavour, thus encouraging others to follow suit. I extend my felicitations and best wishes to IABCA in this endeavour and wish the platform all success in the future.
