Prime Minister Scott Morrison has reaffirmed Australia's partnership with India despite the nation not yet condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Morrison says he doesn't draw any equivalence between India and China, which has not joined western nations in sanctioning Russia.
He said during a meeting on Thursday night with leaders of Quad nations - Australia, India, the US and Japan - concerns were raised about the 16,000 Indian students stuck in Ukraine who are trying to get out.
