In response to past reports of expelling Indian spies, Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers assures a robust bond with India, emphasizing economic ties. Chalmers declines comment on specific incidents, stressing the positive trajectory of bilateral relations. India labels media claims "unwarranted and unsubstantiated," urging caution. Earlier reports cite espionage activities targeting defense projects and airport security, sparking tensions. ASIO's 2020 crackdown on a foreign spy network, allegedly linked to India, fuels speculation. Amidst accusations, both nations strive to maintain diplomatic equilibrium, focusing on shared interests and cooperation.
