I am pleased to announce that I will host the Honourable Shri Mr Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of the Republic of India, for a Virtual Annual Leaders' Meeting on 21 March 2022.
This will be our second Annual Leaders' Meeting since Prime Minister Modi and I announced the bilateral Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2020.
Australia and India's strong bilateral relationship is based on mutual understanding and trust, a commitment to democracy, and a shared vision of an open, inclusive, resilient and prosperous Indo-Pacific.
Prime Minister Modi and I will discuss deepening our trade and investment relationship and harnessing new economic opportunities to support our mutual economic recovery and growth.
Central to these endeavours are strengthened cooperation in defence and security, science and technology, and critical minerals and clean energy.
We will also discuss a range of regional and multilateral issues, including the situation in Ukraine and its implications for the Indo-Pacific, and Myanmar.
I look forward to reaffirming our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and advancing our shared bilateral and regional agenda.
