The third and last message I have to read out to this Assembly is one from the Australian Government to the Members of the Indian Constituent Assembly.
‘Australia has watched with keen interest and sympathy the course of events which have given the people of India their rightful place in the community of nations. The Australian Government, therefore, greets the opening of the Constituent Assembly as an outward sign of a new era for India and offers the delegates of the Constituent Assembly their best wishes for success in their task.’ (Cheers).
