Rahul Gandhi Meets Australian High Commissioner and LSE Scholar

Professor Susan Marks, who joined the LSE in 2010, focuses her research on the intersection of human rights and radical traditions in international law. Her academic career includes tenures at King’s College London and Cambridge. The engagement with High Commissioner Green follows his recent public remarks identifying Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar as influential figures on the global stage.

Green has consistently advocated for intensified bilateral ties between Australia and India, particularly through the Quad alliance. He emphasized that the group, which includes Japan and the United States, is expanding its regional influence through practical initiatives like maritime domain awareness and subsea cable infrastructure. Beyond defense and diplomacy, Green signaled that Australia aims to deepen cooperation in agriculture, agri-tech, and healthcare, specifically promoting Australian-developed cochlear implant technology to address hearing loss across India.
