“PM Anthony Albanese and I have in the past discussed the issue of attack on temples in Australia and activities of separatist elements. We discussed the matter today also. We will not accept any elements that harm the friendly and warm ties between the India-Australia relationship by their action or thoughts. PM Albanese assured me once again today that he will take strict actions against such elements in the future also,” PM Modi said.
In his remarks, Anthony Albanese said Australia is a better place because of the contributions of the Indian-Australian community. “In my first year as Prime Minister, I met PM Modi six times, which underscores the value we place on deepening ties between our nations. Australia is a better place because of the contributions of the Indian-Australian community, and we want to see more connections between our countries” he said.
PM Modi had on Tuesday addressed a community event in Sydney. Prior to arriving in Australia, PM Modi visited Papua New Guinea and Japan. He attended the G7 Summit and Quad meeting in Hiroshima in Japan and also held bilateral meetings with several world leaders.
