Modi and Albanese Discuss Bilateral Ties Ahead of G20 Summit
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Australian PM Anthony Albanese in Johannesburg on November 21, 2025, prior to the G20 Leaders' Summit. The leaders reviewed progress in areas such as defence, trade, and education, marking five years of their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Albanese expressed condolences for recent tragedies in India, including a terrorist attack and a bus crash in Saudi Arabia. Both leaders committed to enhancing cooperation in various sectors and strengthening the global fight against terrorism. This G20 Summit is notable as it is the first held in Africa, with the African Union joining as a member during India's presidency in 2023.
