Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, addressing a Joint Press Conference with the Foreign Minister of Australia Marise Payne, welcomed the reopening of the Australian border which will help stranded Indian students and visa holders to return to Australia.

India appreciates the opening of Australian borders:
 
Almost two years after borders were first closed due to COVID-19, Australia is set to reopen its borders to fully vaccinated tourists and all visa holders. On Monday, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that the country would be open to all fully vaccinated visa holders, including tourists, beginning February 21.
 
Addressing the conference with his Australian counterpart Marise Payne, EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar said that the two ministers held productive, useful, and wide-ranging discussions.
 
”A lot of our discussion reflects the real and profound transformation in our ties which is happened in this very difficult period of the COVID-19,” said the EAM.
 
“I welcome the opening of the border by the government of Australia, which will help those who have been in India waiting to come back, especially students, temporary visa holders, and separated families and this is something which is greatly appreciated,” he added.
