Brisbane, August 4 (MCCQ Newsdesk)

Empowering Migrants Expo truly celebrated the efforts multicultural community takes in making Brisbane the livable city. In its inaugural EXPO event this large which was organised by The Bharatiya Samaj under the leadership of Abhishek Sharma proved to be a super successful event. For the first time the entire Multicultural Business community working with Multicultural Community in Brisbane came together to showcase their services and celebrate their leaders. The Multicultural Community Awards organised in collaboration with Multicultural Community Connect Queensland Inc. not only recognised the efforts of the leaders of migrant diaspora who have relentlessly paved the paths for others to trend on but also build the strengths of these migrant leaders to stand shoulder to shoulder with Brisbane’s leaders. Both right honourable Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and the opposition leader of Australia, Hon. Minister David Crisafulli MP unfolded their story as migrants to Brisbane. Lord Mayor also, acknowledged that, “the highest number of new citizens who are conferred the citizenship of Australia in the past few years have come from India. Who, also have contributed to the economy of Brisbane in a big way.” Lord Mayor also acknowledged Ms Neetu Bhagotia for accepting the position of the first Consul General of India in Brisbane. Consul General Ms Neetu Bhagotia appealed to the Indian diaspora to keep the good work they do going as they are the pride of India and the pride of the country they adopt. She also said that a multicultural collaboration paves the paths for the bilateral trade and such EXPO facilitate that process.
EXPO event was definitely a success in igniting the sense of belonging to Brisbane and Australia among the multicultural Diaspora.
