Canberra [Australia], February 6 : The Indian High Commissioner Gopal Baglay called on the Australian Member of Parliament and chair of the India-Australia Parliamentary Friendship Group, Andrew Charlton on Tuesday and discussed multifaceted bilateral ties between the two countries.

During their conversation, both leaders also discussed India-Australia cooperation in education, trade, investment, and people-to-people ties.

The leaders also exchanged views on further enhancing parliamentary interaction between the two countries and appreciated the role of the Indian diaspora in cementing bilateral relations.
