New Delhi, May 28, 2026: Australian Deputy Prime Minister aur Defence Minister Richard Marles agle hafte Bharat ka daura karne wale hain, jahaan ve doosre Australia-India Defence Ministers’ Dialogue mein hissa lenge. Ye daura Marles ke 23rd Shangri-La Dialogue mein Singapore jaane ke thodi hi der baad hoga, jo India-Australia partnership ki strategic mahatva ko Indo-Pacific kshetra mein darshata hai. Australian Government ki official statement ke anusaar, Marles ke daure ka mukhya uddeshya bilateral defence cooperation ki samiksha karna aur donon deshon ke beech strategic aur military sambandhon ko majboot banana hai. Ye dialogue pahle Australia-India Defence Ministers’ Dialogue ke baad aaya hai, jo October 2025 mein Australia mein aaya tha. Isse India aur Australia ke beech defence sambandhon mein badhti gati ko darshaya ja raha hai, jab dono desh kshetra mein badalti suraksha chunautiyon ke jawab mein sahyog badhane ki koshish kar rahe hain. Apne prastaav se pehle, Marles ne Shangri-La Dialogue ki mahatva ko ek mahatvapoorn manch ke roop mein bataya, jahaan ve regional partners ke saath sahyog kar sakte hain. Unhone kaha, “Ek buri tarah se bigadte hue strategic mahaul mein, Shangri-La Dialogue sahyog ke liye ek mahatvapoorn manch pradaan karta hai.” Unhone Australia ke diplomatic aur defence sambandhon ko majboot karne ki pratibaddhata ko bhi darshaya, vishesh roop se Indo-Pacific kshetra mein. “Hum diplomatic aur defence sambandhon ko majboot karne ke liye pratibaddh hain, vishesh roop se Indo-Pacific kshetra mein,” unhone kaha. Marles ne Rajnath Singh ke pichle saal Australia daure ke dauran India aur Australia ke beech defence partnership mein hue majboot pragati ko bhi svikar kiya. Unhone apne aane wale meeting mein Indian Defence Minister ke saath sambandhon ko aur majboot banane ki ummeed prakat ki. “Australia aur India top-tier suraksha sahyogi hain. Main Defence Minister Rajnath Singh se milne ki ummeed karta hoon, jisse hum apne defence partnership ko aur majboot bana sakte hain, jo pichle saal unke Australia daure ke dauran hue the,” unhone kaha. Apne Shangri-La Dialogue mein bhagidari ke dauran, jo Indo-Pacific ke pramukh defence aur suraksha manch hai, jo International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) dwara aayojit kiya gaya hai, Marles ko ek plenary session mein Asia ke maritime suraksha chunautiyon par bhashan dene ka karyakram hai. Iske alawa, ve kai global aur regional defence leaders ke saath bilateral meetings bhi karne wale hain, jahaan ve regional suraksha ke liye sahyogatmak drishtikon par charcha karenge. Marles ke daure ka samay bahut mahatvapoorn hai, jab dono desh apne strategic alignment ko badhane ki koshish kar rahe hain, jo Indo-Pacific mein badhti geopolitical anishchitataon aur suraksha chunautiyon ke jawab mein hai. Dialogue mein defence industry collaboration, joint military exercises, aur capacity-building initiatives jaise vividh muddon par charcha hone ki ummeed hai. Australia-India Defence Ministers’ Dialogue ek mahatvapoorn manch hai, jo high-level defence adan-pradan ko sansthit karta hai aur military-to-military sahyog ko badhata hai. Dono deshon ke saath rules-based international order aur freedom of navigation ko Indo-Pacific mein prathmikta dete hain, aane wale baatcheet ka bhavishya mein unke bilateral defence engagement ko aakar dene mein mahatvapoorn bhoomika nibhane ki ummeed hai. ---
