Here we have discussed in detail all the issues related to the existing bilateral interests of the two countries and how we can advance the relationship. We also talked about how the Australian Government can provide meaningful support in the coming days, especially in our skills development programs.

We also discussed what other roles the Australian Government can play as an important development partner for our country. He also said that many of our people were injured and undergoing treatment in the mass uprising that took place in July-August. I would like to request the Australian Government through the Honorable Australian Acting High Commissioner, that the Australian Government can assist in the treatment of all our people who are undergoing treatment for losing their eyes, hands, legs and limbs.
