India Admitted To Australia Group Friday Jan 19,2018

India on Friday Jan 19,2018 joined the Australia Group saying that the membership will be mutually beneficial.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated that India’s entry into the group which aims to prevent proliferation of biological and chemical weapons, will ensure a more secure world.

“The Australia Group decided to admit India as its 43rd participant. India would like to thank each of the participants. Its entry would be mutually beneficial and further contribute to international security and non-proliferation objectives,” said Spokesperson of the MEA Raveesh Kumar, praising the role of the former head of the group ambassador Jane Hardy.

Earlier, in a separate statement, the Australia Group said India’s membership will help to counter the “spread of materials, equipment and technologies that could contribute to the development or acquisition of chemical/biological weapons.”
