一 | Canberra, Oct 10 (UNI) External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar and his Australian counterpart Senator Penny Wong on Monday held dialogue and agreed to work closely in Quad, trilaterals, G20, UN and other important forums.
"Just concluded the 13th Foreign Ministers’ Framework Dialogue with my Australian colleague FM Senator Wong. Took stock of the steady progress of our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, including important Ministerial visits in recent months," the External Affairs Minister wrote on Twitter.
"Discussed ECTA progress; defence; counter terrorism; mobility of talent & skills, education; double taxation avoidance; critical minerals; cyber; clean energy and SDGs," the EAM added in thread.
"Exchanged views on global and regional developments, recognizing our strong convergences and shared interests... Agreed to work closely together in Quad, trilaterals, G20, UN and other important forums," Jaishankar added.
"Australia and India are Comprehensive Strategic Partners, we are Quad partners and most fundamentally, we share the Indo-Pacific region. We have a shared interest and a shared ambition in a stable and prosperous region where sovereignty is respected," Australian Foreign Minister said in a statement.
For Australia, our partnership with India is a critical part of shaping the region we want, Wong added.
The two ministers discussed accelerating and deepening economic ties, including through our Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement.
"We also discussed strengthening our people to people ties and education links, reinforcing our defence and security cooperation and enhancing our climate change and new clean energy engagement, including through the Quad," Wong added.
The two ministers agreed to expand diplomatic footprints, with Australia recommitting to open a Consulate-General in Bengaluru, and India planning an additional consulate in Australia.
I look forward to our continued engagement as we build and sustain our partnership and region, the Australian Foreign Minister concluded.

二 | "The 38% of US adults who say they are 'extremely proud' to be American is the lowest in Gallup's trend, which began in 2001," the pollster said in a press release accompanying the survey.,The result marks the historical low for "extremely proud" by 4 points, but is well below the average of 55%, the release added.,The poll also found 27% of Americans are "very proud," 22% moderately, 9% only a little, and 4% not at all.,The highest readings followed the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when America was awash in patriotism, Gallup said. But researchers note that extreme national pride in the US has been trending downward since 2015.,In terms of partisan breakdown, the pollsters found record-low national pride among Republicans and independents, with Republicans' extreme national pride currently at its lowest point in the trend at 58 percent.,Likewise, independents' extreme pride, which stands at 34 percent, is also the lowest on record for this category. And all three major party groups show double-digit declines in pride versus 2013, with Democrats' 30-point decline the largest.,The current 32-point gap in Democratic versus Republican pride is larger than the historical average though smaller than the record-high 54-point gap in 2019, according to the release.,All groups have become less inclined to say they are proud of their country in recent years, potentially due to deepening political divisions, gridlock in Washington, racial tensions, COVID-19, and inflation, Gallup concluded.。
