“I wanted to pass on the Department’s sincere gratitude for all your help with the dinner at Bennelong in honour of the Prime Minister of the Republic of India’s visit to Australia. Your assistance, despite the uncertainty following the cancellation of Quad, was much appreciated.

I would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to your performers for their hard work and willingness to adapt to all the changes both in the lead-up and on the night. I received several compliments from the dinner attendees on the beautiful music, and I personally very much enjoyed the performance.

I look forward to working with you again in the future. With warm regards, Sophie” – Dept of the PM&C.
