Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said he is looking forward to deliberations with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese to further the friendship between the two countries.
Mr Albanese is on a visit to India at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and is accompanied by a delegation of ministers and business leaders during his four-day trip.
He arrived in Ahmedabad this afternoon and will visit Mumbai on Thursday before arriving in New Delhi later in the day.

In Delhi, he will be accorded a ceremonial welcome at the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhawan on March 10, 2023.
