NSW Premier Chris Minns Heads to India for Four‑Day Trade and Cultural Mission

Sydney – New South Wales Premier Chris Minns will join Treasurer Daniel Mookhey on a four‑day official visit to India, slated for 31 August to 3 September. The delegation plans stops in New Delhi and Mumbai, where they will meet Indian officials and business leaders to explore opportunities that could deepen trade, investment, education and cultural links between the two regions.

The mission comes as both governments seek to broaden economic cooperation beyond traditional sectors. For the South‑Asian diaspora, the talks could translate into new pathways for Australian companies to access India’s fast‑growing market, and for Indian entrepreneurs and students to tap into New South Wales’ resources and networks.

While details of the agenda remain under wraps, the focus on education suggests potential expansion of student exchange programmes and joint research initiatives, areas that have historically attracted many Indian families to Australian universities. Cultural exchanges are also on the table, aiming to showcase the vibrant multicultural fabric of NSW to Indian audiences.

The trip was announced earlier this week, signalling a proactive approach by the Minns government to position New South Wales as a gateway for Australian‑Indian collaboration.
