I'm delighted to stand up today to congratulate the Indian Society of Western Australia on what I understand was a fantastic Sangam 2021 at the Perth convention centre on 7 August. Sangam, coordinated by ISWA and its member associations, featured magnificent cultural performances showcasing India's diversity and celebrating India's unity. The diversity of Perth's Indian community and member associations was highlighted by the many dance and music performances presented at this important cultural event. The event also raised important funds to support the provision of essential equipment and services to those impacted by COVID-19 in India. I congratulate again the Indian community in Western Australia for the wonderful work that they are doing in celebrating their diversity and making Western Australia such a wonderful place to live.
