DEFENCE Minister Stephen Smith has met the governor of India's fourth most populous state to discuss an expansion of Australia's security ties with the south Asian nation.
During the talks in Sydney on Wednesday, Mr Smith and West Bengal governor MK Narayanan, a former Indian government national security adviser, discussed Australia's bilateral relations with India and defence and security ties.
There was also talk about shared strategic and security interests, including maritime security, co-operation in the Indian Ocean and regional security.
Mr Smith said Australia and India were each committed to promoting regional and global security and shared a common commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
"We are jointly leading efforts to further develop the regional security architecture of the Indian Ocean, with a particular focus on maritime security," he said in a statement.
Last year, Mr Smith and Indian Defence Minister AK Antony agreed to boost co-operation on maritime security through multilateral maritime and other exercises.
