PM Modi and Morrison, in June, organized a virtual summit post the cancellation of his India-visit because of the outbreak.
He wished in advance, “warm congratulations to the people of India”. He spoke about the “elevation of bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” between the two countries in his message. “Our partnership is geared for the common good of our region and the global community, and this will be critical as we work to overcome the health, social and economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic”, he said.
“The deep friendship between Australia and India is about more than trade and diplomacy. Founded on bharosa (trust) and samman (respect) - it is a friendship with depth, and marked by democracy, defence cooperation, diaspora and dosti (mateship)”, he added.
The PM stated that India “is now our biggest source of migrants”. “Their presence has contributed to Australia becoming the most successful multicultural nation on earth.”
