Anthony Albanese will welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Australia despite the Quad being cancelled due to Joe Biden's late withdrawal.
The Quad meeting, which would have seen the leaders of Australia, India, Japan and the US descend on Sydney, was scrapped after Joe Biden pulled out due to the domestic ongoing debt ceiling stoush.
In addition to Quad obligations, Mr Biden was also set to become the fifth president to address Australia’s parliament in Canberra.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the relationship between India and Australia has “never been closer” and he looks forward to welcoming the leader. “I am honoured to host Prime Minister Modi for an official visit to Australia, after receiving an extremely warm welcome in India earlier this year,” he said on Monday.
“Australia and India share a commitment to a stable, secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific. Together we have an important role to play in supporting this vision.“I look forward to celebrating Australia’s vibrant Indian community with Prime Minister Modi in Sydney.”Together we will seize the opportunities ahead of us, and use our collective strengths to meet the challenges we face.Â
