Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Australia has been positively received by the country’s media, with ‘The Australian’ describing it as a positive development for the economy and diplomacy. The visit was seen as significant against the backdrop of China’s missile testing in the South Pacific, emphasizing the importance of the deepening relationship between Australia and India. Melbourne’s ‘Herald Sun’ even likened PM Modi to a Marvel superhero, citing the enthusiastic reception at Marvel Stadium.
The Australian newspaper also commended the agreements reached during the visit, highlighting trade and defense deals, including a substantial Uranium deal and closer military cooperation. Additionally, there is a growing trend of Australian universities showing interest in establishing campuses in India, with one more university set to open a campus following approvals granted during PM Modi’s visit.
The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Australia and India was a focal point during the discussions, with Melbourne’s daily, The Age, noting the acceleration of free trade efforts between the two countries. PM Anthony Albanese and PM Narendra Modi were actively involved in strengthening the bond between Australia and India through these trade initiatives.
