“I am honoured to accept the appointment by the Prime Minister to join the Australia-India CEO Forum, and look forward to contributing to the development of our economic relationship with India.  It is one of the fastest growing global economies and as Prime Minister Modi’s highly successful visit to Australia late last year has demonstrated, India offers a very significant opportunity for sales of Australian uranium,” Dr Guthrie said on accepting the appointment.
