"The government is committed to the welfare and well-being of all Indians abroad, and remains closely engaged with the government of Australia and our diaspora there," he said.
The Indian diaspora in Australia comprises over a million people.
Before the protests took place, the Indian high commission in Australia had conveyed to the Australian government its concerns, Jaiswal said at his weekly media briefing.
"In a formal response to our high commission, the government of Australia acknowledged that the protests may be concerning for Australia's diverse communities," he said.
Jaiswal said senior leaders and politicians in Australia belonging to the government and the Opposition issued statements supporting the multicultural nature of Australian society.
"The contribution of the Indian diaspora in Australia was also acknowledged and appreciated," he said.
"India continues to firmly believe that diversity is strength. We value our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Australia, which is further bolstered by strong people-to-people ties."
