COMPREHENSION : As he hailed India’s bilateral ties with Australia as having entered the T20 mode, PM Modi in a meeting with his counterpart, Anthony Albanese, on Wednesday again raised the issue of attacks on Hindu temples and activities of Khalistan separatists in Australia. Any attempt to harm India - Australia ties was unacceptable, Modi said. Albanese assured him of strong action against the perpetrators. Modi rounded off his three-nation tour with a bilateral meeting with Albanese, and a business round table that saw the two sides signing a migration agreement for two-way mobility of students and business professionals, and another deal to set up a task force for green hydrogen cooperation. The leaders also discussed many regional and global issues, including the threat posed by China’s assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific, Russia-Ukraine war, Quad cooperation and ways to address problems faced by the Global South. Thanking Albanese for the steps taken to prevent attacks on Hindu temples, Modi said the former assured him once again that he would continue to take strict action against the perpetrators.
