Prime Minister Modi is ‘The Boss’- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese

PM Modi said in Sydney that India is the mother of democracy and his aim is to make India a developed nation. “Banking system in several countries are in trouble today but on the other hand, the strength of India’s banks are being appreciated everywhere. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has described India as a bright spot in the global economy and the World Bank also shares similar view”.
“When I came here in 2014, I made a promise to you that you will not have to wait for 28 years for an Indian PM. So, here I am in Sydney once gain. India-Australia relationship is based on mutual trust and respect. It was once said that our ties were defined by 3Cs – Commonwealth, Cricket and Curry. This was followed by 3D – Democracy, Diaspora and Dosti. Some even said that ties were defined on 3E- Energy, Economy and Education. Mutual trust and mutual respect have not developed only due to the diplomatic relations. The real reason, the real power is – all you Indians who live in Australia”.
“Our lifestyles and culture are different but yoga, cricket and tennis have connected us. We might prepare food in different manners but Master-chef is connecting us now. I thank my Australian counterpart for helping me unveil the foundation stone of ‘Little India’, a suburb in Sydney. It is a recognition of the contribution of the Indian community to the diaspora of Australia.”, he added.
PM Modi also said that a new Indian consulate will be opened in Brisbane soon.
