NEW DELHI/SYDNEY : Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese arrives in India on Wednesday seeking to strengthen the new momentum in ties between the two countries through deeper trade, investment and defence relations.
“India and Australia share warm and friendly relations based on common values and democratic principles. The Strategic Partnership between the two countries was elevated to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in June 2020,” the Indian foreign ministry said in a statement ahead of the visit. The two countries signed last year a free trade agreement called the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement , the first signed by India with a developed country in a decade.
The negotiations resumed in 2021 but a deal has yet proved to be elusive. Australian Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell is a part of Albanese’s delegation and the visit is expected to provide an opportunity to hasten the ambitious deal. The Albanese-Modi talks in New Delhi on Friday will be the first meeting of the annual summit announced by the two countries last year.
