Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Wednesday said an Australian consulate would be set up in Bengaluru and also announced the establishment of Australia-India Centre of Excellence for Critical and Emerging Technology Policy, while addressing the inaugural session of the flagship Bengaluru Tech Summit – 2021 (BTS – 2021).
“I’m pleased to let you know that Australia is also seeking to establish a new consulate general in Bengaluru. Bengaluru is the world’s fastest growing technology hub, of course we want to be part of it,” said Mr. Morrison.
Australia’s new mission in Bengaluru, which is home to a third of startup unicorns, would expand the country’s diplomatic presence in India to five posts in total.
