New Delhi:
Australia’s dynamic Cabinet Minister Anne Aly has arrived in India to participate in the NDTV World Summit 2025, further deepening the ties between India and Australia. As the Minister for International Development, Multicultural Affairs, and Small Business, Aly’s visit represents Canberra’s growing emphasis on diplomacy built on inclusivity, shared values, and people-first partnerships.
The NDTV World Summit 2025, to be held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi on October 17–18, will see Aly deliver a keynote address highlighting Australia’s global development goals and the importance of multicultural cooperation.
A Vision for Inclusive and Collaborative Diplomacy
At the NDTV World Summit 2025, Anne Aly will focus on the power of multiculturalism in building bridges between nations. Her keynote, centered on “Partnerships for a Resilient Future,” will discuss how cultural diversity enhances international collaboration and diplomacy.
This aligns with the Albanese Government’s Indo-Pacific strategy, which emphasizes sustainable growth, regional resilience, and inclusive prosperity.
“This visit celebrates our friendship with India — built on trust, shared opportunities, and mutual respect,” said a senior official from Aly’s delegation.

From Cairo to Canberra: The Journey of Anne Aly
Born in Egypt and raised in Western Sydney, Anne Aly’s journey is a testament to perseverance and progress. Moving to Australia at the age of two, she faced the challenges of migrant life before rising to national prominence.
Before entering politics, Aly served as an academic at Curtin University (DoFollow) and Edith Cowan University, specializing in counterterrorism and security studies. Her work on deradicalization programs earned her global recognition and informed national policy decisions.
In 2016, she made history as the first Muslim woman elected to the Australian Parliament, representing Cowan, Western Australia. Later, under the Albanese Labour Government, she became Australia’s first female Muslim minister — first overseeing Early Childhood Education and Youth, and later expanding her role to International Development and Multicultural Affairs.
Aly is also an author, with her memoir “Finding My Place: From Cairo to Canberra” (2018) chronicling her journey from immigrant scholar to national leader.

Strengthening the India-Australia Partnership
Anne Aly’s visit underscores the growing collaboration between India and Australia — particularly in education, clean energy, and digital innovation.
In recent years, both nations have signed key agreements under the India-Australia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Framework (DoFollow), promoting trade, research partnerships, and people-to-people exchange.
Her participation at the summit also symbolizes the increasing role of the Indian-Australian diaspora in shaping policy, business, and culture. With over 800,000 Indian-origin citizens in Australia, the community serves as a vibrant bridge connecting the two democracies.

A Message of Hope, Diversity, and Progress
As the NDTV World Summit 2025 approaches, Anne Aly’s presence represents more than just political dialogue — it’s a celebration of multicultural diplomacy and shared global responsibility. Her journey from Cairo to Canberra embodies the values of inclusion, empathy, and courage — qualities essential for building stronger ties between nations.
Her message is clear: diversity is not a challenge but a strength. And through forums like the NDTV World Summit, Australia and India are proving that collaboration built on mutual respect can shape a better future for all.
“When nations listen to each other’s stories, they build bridges that no conflict can destroy,” Aly said during her pre-summit interview.
