Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s visit to Australia concluded on October 9, 2025, with the signing of landmark agreements enhancing military interoperability between India and Australia, as part of the Quad framework. In meetings with Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Richard Marles in Canberra, the duo reviewed progress on cyber defense collaboration, maritime domain awareness, and regional challenges, including freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.

Key outcomes included a new MoU for co-development of unmanned aerial systems and expanded joint exercises under the AUSINDEX series, set to incorporate AI-driven simulations for the first time. Singh highlighted India’s burgeoning defense export capabilities, positioning the country as a reliable supplier of high-quality technology to allies.

The talks also addressed supply chain resilience for critical components like semiconductors, vital for both militaries. This visit, Singh’s second to Australia in three years, builds on the 2020 Mutual Logistics Support Agreement, enabling shared basing and refueling during operations. Amid escalating tensions in the region, the pacts underscore a strategic alignment against non-traditional threats like hybrid warfare.

Australian officials reciprocated by expressing interest in India’s BrahMos missile program for potential acquisition. As Singh returned, analysts noted the deepened ties as a stabilizing force, potentially influencing future collaborations with Japan and the U.S. within the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue.
