PM Modi congratulates Australia PM Anthony Albanese, wins a second 3-year term
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday spoke with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, congratulating him on his party’s landslide victory in Saturday’s general election.
PM Modi had earlier congratulated Albanese on Saturday following Labor’s resounding win, which saw the party secure 92 lower house seats — only the third time in the country’s history that a party has won more than 90 seats.
Both prime ministers noted the significant progress made in strengthening bilateral ties across a range of important sectors — including climate change and renewable energy, trade and investment, defence and security, education and research, skills, mobility, science and technology, regional and multilateral cooperation, community and cultural links, and people-to-people ties.
Reaffirming their commitment to deepen cooperation, they also reflected on their shared regional interests, noting with satisfaction that closer bilateral engagement has benefited both nations and the broader region.
Both leaders emphasised that ‘Make in India’ and ‘Future Made in Australia’ are complementary and hold collaborative potential to create new jobs, drive economic growth, and secure future prosperity in a changing world.
India and Australia are also members of the Quad grouping, alongside the United States and Japan.
