PM Narendra Modi had invited Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull during his visit to Australia. When Mr, Turnbull is here, Narendra Modi is providing all his hospitality to his Australian counterpart taking him to a small tour of Delhi.
The Australian prime minister arrived in New Delhi on Sunday on a four-day India visit. India and Australia agreed on Monday to revive stalled talks on a bilateral trade deal but Turnbull conceded that chances of an early breakthrough were slim.
This is Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s first ever visit to Indian after he came in term.
The two leaders held comprehensive discussions on bilateral, regional and international issues of mutual interest and concern.
The duo had taken a short metro ride from Mandi House metro station to Akshardham for reaching out temple or PM wanted to show a clean picture of Indian to Australian counterpart in his 4 day trip.
They later got down at Akshardham station and visited the Akshardham Temple where they were received by priests and given a guided tour.
Turnbull said he was prioritising an Asia-Pacific forum that includes China, amid concerns over access to India’s market of 1.3 billion people for farm exports from Australia and opportunities for skilled Indian workers there.
Modi and Turnbull’s visit to metro was kept as a secret surprise but due to heavy usage of metro the daily passengers could get this opportunity to meet the dignitaries.
After meeting the PM, the Australian leader said that the two had agreed to make a fresh push on a proposed bilateral Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA).
This was the best moment of the day for Modi fans who got him capturing selfies with his Australian counterpart.
