Prime Minister Narendra Modi has landed in Sydney as he begins an official visit where he will be feted by Australian supporters, business chiefs and politicians alike.
On Tuesday, India's leader will address a rally which is expected to draw a crowd of up to 20,000 people who are hoping to catch a glimpse of the prime minister and listen as Mr Modi — a powerful orator — extols the virtues of the Australia-India relationship.
Attended by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the Olympic Park arena event, scheduled to open its gates around midday, will attract Modi supporters from across the nation.
