Perth, April 26 (Australia India News Newsdesk)

Consul General of India in Perth, Kajari Biswas, joined ANZAC Day commemorations on April 25, paying tribute to fallen soldiers and acknowledging the enduring legacy of shared sacrifice between India and Australia.

Marking ANZAC Day, the Consul General participated in ceremonies that honour the courage and service of members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, while also recognising the contribution of Indian soldiers who fought alongside ANZAC forces during World War I and subsequent conflicts.

In her remarks, Biswas highlighted the deep historical ties forged on the battlefield, noting that Indian troops played a significant role in campaigns such as Gallipoli and the Western Front. She emphasised that these shared experiences continue to shape the strong and evolving relationship between India and Australia.

The commemoration served as a moment of reflection on values such as courage, resilience, and camaraderie—principles that underpin both nations’ defence traditions. The Consul General also paid homage to the Indian soldiers whose contributions, though often less widely acknowledged, remain an integral part of the ANZAC story.

Officials noted that the participation of Indian representatives in ANZAC observances reflects the growing recognition of historical linkages and people-to-people connections between the two countries. The ceremony concluded with tributes to all those who served, reinforcing a shared commitment to peace and cooperation.
