Tony Abbott tweets Narendra Modi and congratulates him on his success

 

 

 

 

 

 

Message from PM Abbott to the Indian community in Australia:

 

I spoke to PM-elect Modi on the night of his election and congratulated him on his electoral success.

 

I am looking forward to working with him.

 

I invited Prime Minister Modi to the G20 Summit later this year and to visit Australia.

 

The Indian community has become an integral part of our Australian story.

 

I acknowledge the strong friendship between Australia and India, particularly the people-to-people links we share.

 

Since the early 1980s, when I spent three months living in India, Australia and India have grown significantly closer together.

 

There are around 400,000 Australians of Indian origin and I pay tribute to the significant contributions they make to our country.

 

Modern Australia is unimaginable without them.

 

 

The Prime Minister also tweeted his congratulations to PM-elect Modi, who in turn responded.
