Pradhan is visiting Australia from October 22 to 26. The visit is expected to encourage collaboration, involvement, and synergy in key areas of common interest in education.

During the meeting, Pradhan emphasized that education and skill development will drive economic success for both countries while also increasing ties between their institutions.

The discussions focused on addressing future workforce needs, bridging skill gaps, and boosting research collaboration between the two countries’ higher education institutions.

He also announced that the next AIESC meeting will be in India in 2025.

 

Pradhan also met with Australia's Innovative Research Universities (IRU) to discuss future collaborations with Indian universities.
