India and Australia have not succeeded in bridging deep differences over a key trade and investment pact negotiated for the past six years, ahead of a visit by Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull starting this Sunday.
Speaking on the occasion, Goel said,"We have a lot to learn and share with Australia in the field of sports".
Meanwhile, Minister for Education and Training Simon Birmingham, who is accompanying Turnbull on the visit, said Australia will showcase its global education, training and research offerings during the visit to help it in its goal of upskilling 400 million people by 2022.
While trade between India and Australia has doubled over the past decade to around US$20 billion (S$28.1 billion), said Mr Turnbull, this was a fraction of what it could and should be. Australia is the world's third-largest producer of uranium behind Kazakshtan and Canada.

Weapons analysts said they believed some of the missiles on display were new types of intercontinental ballistic missiles. A full sized ICBM would give North Korea the ability to strike the United States mainland and targets in Europe.
Rudy said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to make India a hub for worldwide work force. Further, both the Prime Ministers also underscored Australia and India's joint commitment to enhancing regional cooperation in promoting maritime security and safety.
Australia is in the process of exporting uranium, a precious nuclear fuel, to India, but the delayed economic pact between the two nations will reportedly not be signed during the visit. Turnbull said that two-way trade in goods and services past year was almost $20 billion - more than double of what it was a decade ago. Turnbull made his comments during an official visit to India. Mr Modi said that Mr Turnbull and he recognised that their future was deeply tied to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. "Research institutions of the two countries are collaborating in critical areas including health", he added.
"We are working working with India for a quality RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership)", he said.
Besides the powerful coal lobby, the Liberal Prime Minister's visit to India would be followed with avid interest by the Australian universities and vocational training institutes.
