Victoria and India share a special relationship, one that has been built through cooperation and shared values.

India is one of Victoria's most important trade partners and is projected to be the third largest economy in the world by 2030.

Victoria is also home to the largest Indian diaspora in Australia, with over 258,000 Victorians born in India and many more claiming Indian ancestry.

The release of Victoria’s India Strategy: Our Shared Future in 2018 strengthened Victoria's relationship with India and laid the foundation for future success.

But the world has changed since 2018, as have our domestic priorities.

That's why we've updated our plan to engage with India by releasing Victoria’s India Strategy: Our Shared Future 2025-30.

Through this strategy, we adjust our focus for the next five years as we look to boost cooperation with India across strategically important sectors and states.

We have set out three objectives that we will target to do this:

  • Strengthen connections for a meaningful and inclusive relationship
  • Enhance strategic economic cooperation for the mutual prosperity of India and Victoria
  • Deepen bilateral education, innovation and technology ties for a vibrant knowledge economy

Our vision is to further connect Victoria and India - state-to-state and person to person.
