Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 24 held ‘fruitful’ discussions with Australia’s newly-elected Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and discussed ways to add even greater momentum across key sectors of their robust bilateral strategic ties.
Mr. Modi and Mr. Albanese met on the sidelines of the Quad Summit in Tokyo, a day after the centre-left Labor Party leader was sworn-in as the Australian Prime Minister.
"India’s Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Australia is robust and benefits not only the people of our nations but also the world," Mr. Modi tweeted after his maiden meeting with his new Australian counterpart. "Was delighted to meet PM @AlboMP and take stock of bilateral ties. We discussed ways to add even greater momentum across key sectors," he wrote.
