Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has rated the Australia-India friendship 10 out of 10 and called Prime Minister Narendra Modi an inspiring leader who is "making a huge difference".
The bonhomie between the two leaders was visible in the many photos from Mr. Turnbull's first visit to India in 2017. He has retired since and is currently touring India with his wife. Mr. Turnbull, who is one of the speakers at the ongoing 17th edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF), recalled his "lovely visit" to India in 2017 and the time spent with PM Modi.
"I had a lovely visit here. I have seen him [Modi] in Japan recently at the funeral of our old friend Shinzo Abe... I enjoyed Mr. Modi's company enormously. I know he is controversial in his own country naturally. But from the outside, an inspiring leader and clearly making a huge difference," Mr. Turnbull told PTI.
