The agreements span defence, maritime security, critical minerals, clean energy, education, research, mining, critical technologies and cultural cooperation, further strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries.

Among the key developments was a new Joint Declaration on Defence and Security Cooperation, replacing the 2009 security pact and enhancing military collaboration between India and Australia. The two sides also finalised arrangements to operationalise the Australia-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement, paving the way for Australian uranium exports to India for peaceful civil nuclear energy purposes.

Following the conclusion of his Australia visit, Prime Minister Modi departed for Auckland, New Zealand, the final leg of his three-nation tour.

During his visit, PM Modi is expected to hold bilateral talks with New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, review progress in trade, defence and people-to-people ties, and address another large gathering of the Indian diaspora.
