PM Modi begins Melbourne visit to deepen India-Australia ties.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Melbourne on Wednesday for the second leg of his three-nation tour, saying his visit would provide fresh momentum to the India-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The visit is aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two countries across key areas including trade, defence, technology, education and people-to-people ties.
After reaching Melbourne, Modi said he looked forward to discussions with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and engagement with the Indian diaspora, which he described as an important link in bilateral relations. The visit comes as both countries continue efforts to expand strategic and economic cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region.

The India-Australia relationship has expanded significantly in recent years, with both countries working together in areas including security, critical technologies, clean energy, education and trade.
