Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said the relationship between the two countries has "never been more consequential" ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit on July 8-10. Albanese stressed that ties with India stand out in both economic and strategic terms.
The visit is expected to deepen cooperation in trade, investment and security. In recent years the two countries have sought to broaden economic ties and step up strategic coordination in the Indo-Pacific region.
Which concrete agreements come to the table during Modi's engagements, and the scope of steps to lift bilateral trade, will be watched closely. The outcomes of the visit will help shape the direction of the Australia-India partnership in the period ahead.
