Australia is a member of the Quad grouping with India as well as the Five Eyes intelligence alliance with Canada.
In its first reaction to the controversy over Canada's allegation that Indian officials played a role in the killing of a Khalistani terrorist, Australia has called the reports "concerning" and said it has raised the issue with its "Indian counterparts".
Australia is a member of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad, grouping with India, Japan and the United States. It is also part of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance with Canada, the US, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
Speaking in the Canadian parliament on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said his government had "credible allegations" linking the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June with the "agents of the Government of India". The next day, Mr Trudeau said he was not looking to "provoke" India or "escalate" tension, but wanted New Delhi to treat Nijjar's killing with "utmost seriousness".
