The High Commissioner of Australia to India, Philip Green, has announced strategic steps to boost labor mobility, making it more accessible for Indians to live and work in Australia. In an interview with ANI, Green highlighted the potential for agricultural deals that respect India's farmers while promoting bilateral growth.

Green emphasized reciprocal advancements in recognizing professional qualifications and encouraged reducing tariffs to support economic exchange.
