"Few of Australia’s relationships with countries in Asia have progressed so far
and so fast as its ties with India. Over a decade, Canberra and New Delhi have
constructed a broad strategic partnership, catalysed by shared concerns about
China.
The recent virtual summit between Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and
his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, illustrated this new closeness well.
The two made a point of emphasising their personal bonhomie. Morrison greeted
Modi in Gujarati, the language of his home state, while the Indian leader
dropped his usual formality, addressing the Australian prime minister as
“Scott”.
There was also substance in this discussion. Morrison and Modi unveiled no
fewer than 11 agreements on things like exchanging military officers,
harmonising tax on pension funds and facilitating greater mobility for skilled
workers, among others."
