Indian Prime Minister Modi offers congratulations to Australian Prime Minister Albanese following his 'groundbreaking' victory, promising to further strengthen their comprehensive strategic partnership.
Congrats, Mate! Modi & Albanese Set Sail for a Stronger Partnership
Hey there! After Albanese's landslide win in the Aussie election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn't contain his excitement. He called up his new buddy and congratulated him heartily. "Mate, I had a chat with you today, cheers to your tremendous victory. We're planning to crank up the India-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and plumb some new avenues of collaboration," PM Modi posted on social media, beaming with optimism after their conversation.
Modi also extended his warm wishes on Saturday when Albanese's Labor party claimed an impressive 92 seats. "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Kudos on your massive win, mate! Your staunch leadership has earned the trust of the Australian people yet again. I can't wait to partner with you further to bolster our comprehensive strategic partnership and nurture our mutual vision for peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific," he wrote.
Albanese, who had a chat with US Prez Donald Trump focusing mainly on trade tariffs, shared that his inaugural foreign trip in his second term as Prime Minister will be to Indonesia.
Modi and the Australian PM locked horns on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro last November, discussing a plethora of issues, including climate change, renewable energy, trade, defense, education, and people-to-people ties. They even held a second Australia-India Annual Summit before the fifth anniversary of the Australia-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, slated for 2025.
Modi extended an invite to Albanese for a visit to India, suggesting they collaborate on both the Annual Summit and the QUAD Summit, emphasizing the significance of regular dialogue and collaboration. The vibrant Indian diaspora, instrumental in bolstering bilateral ties, was also mentioned during their chat.
Both leaders agreed that the 'Make in India' and 'Future Made in Australia' initiatives have a tremendous synergy and can foster new jobs, drive economic growth, and secure both countries' future prosperity in a world brimming with change.
With India and Australia as members of the Quad grouping alongside the United States and Japan, these two nations make up an unstoppable force, determined to protect the Indo-Pacific together. Keep an eye out for developments involving these dynamic duo as they sail towards an even stronger partnership!
