Turtle Down Under, an established name in Australia and New Zealand’s inbound travel industry, had the distinguished honor of supporting India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, on his recent five-day diplomatic visit to Australia. Dr. Jaishankar’s itinerary included several key engagements. In Brisbane, he inaugurated the new Indian Consulate General and engaged with local leaders to discuss enhancing economic, trade, and investment ties, a vital step toward the robust future of India-Australia relations. In an address to the Indian community, Dr. Jaishankar emphasized the significance of the QUAD alliance and the mutual commitment to a stable international order.
This significant event underscores the deepening bond between India and Australia and explores avenues for enhanced collaboration across economic, cultural, and educational sectors.
Mr. Abhishek Sonthalia, the Managing Director and Founder of Turtle Down Under, played a pivotal role in organizing and facilitating travel arrangements for this esteemed visit. Reflecting on this opportunity, Mr. Sonthalia shared, “Turtle Down Under is proud to support initiatives that strengthen the India-Australia relationship and celebrate the vibrant Indian diaspora here. This event reinforces our dedication to bridging the cultures and communities of our two nations.”
With over 976,000 people of Indian descent residing in Australia, including around 125,000 in Queensland, the visit symbolizes a step toward deeper community ties and economic collaboration. Notably, Queensland exports approximately 75% of Australia’s goods to India, making the state an essential contributor to bilateral trade.
This partnership marks yet another milestone for Turtle Down Under, reflecting our expertise in managing travel for high-profile events and diplomatic missions. With over eight years of experience and a commitment to quality, Turtle Down Under continues to support events and initiatives that build lasting connections between nations.
