India joins the Australia Group
New Delhi, Jan 19 (IBNS): India has joined the Australia Group (AG) on Friday following the completion of internal procedures for joining the Group, officials said.
The Australia Group decided to admit India as the Group’s 43rd Participant through a consensus decision, the MEA said in a statement.
"India would like to thank each of the AG Participants for their support for India’s membership. We would also like to thank Ambassador Jane Hardy of Australia, former Chair of the Australia Group, for her role in facilitating India’s accession to the Group," the MEA said in a statement.
India’s entry into the Group would be mutually beneficial and further contribute to international security and non-proliferation objectives.
