PM Modi discusses temple threats with Australian PM.
While Narendra Modi and Anthony Albanese concentrated on completing an ambitious trade pact by this year and bolstering security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, Modi brought up recent assaults on temples in Australia during their first summit talks on Friday. When Modi and Albanese met, they signed four agreements to work together in athletics, innovation, audio-visual production, and solar power.
Clean energy, trade and investment, defense and security, critical minerals, migration and mobility, supply chains, education, culture, and sports all came up in the talks as potential areas to increase collaboration.
In his speech to the media, Modi voiced his dismay at the consistent reports of assaults on temples coming from Australia over the past weeks. He acknowledged that it is natural for such news to worry everyone in India. The Indian public has every right to feel worried and distressed after hearing such news. "In Albanese's presence, Modi elaborated. Our teams will be in constant communication with one another and will work together to solve this problem, "the man declared.
Albanese stated that he and Modi want to finalize the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) between India and Australia as soon as feasible.
The Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) between India and Australia was signed and entered into effect in December of last year. The CECA is currently under negotiation by both parties.
Modi emphasized the importance of bilateral security cooperation between India and Australia, calling it a cornerstone of the two countries' comprehensive strategic relationship.
The growing military assertiveness of China in the Indo-Pacific is thought to have been a major source of concern.
The prime minister added that they talked about working together to strengthen and expand worldwide supply chains that can be relied upon.
During his remarks, Albanese characterised Australia and India's relationship as "multi-faceted." He was looking forward to the May Quad leaders meeting in Australia, where he would meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the September G20 summit in India. According to him, the full potential of the bilateral economic relationship will be realized through the comprehensive economic cooperation agreement.
The foreign leader said he and Modi discussed the unstable security situation worldwide and agreed to work together to make the Indo-Pacific region more open, secure, and prosperous.
