**New Delhi, May 6, 2025** – Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese today, congratulating him on his historic reelection victory and reaffirming their commitment to strengthening the India-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Albanese’s win marks the first back-to-back election victory for an Australian Prime Minister in over two decades.
In a post on X, PM Modi stated that he and PM Albanese agreed to work together with renewed vigor to advance the partnership and explore new areas of cooperation. This follows an earlier congratulatory message from PM Modi on Saturday, where he expressed his eagerness to deepen the strategic partnership and advance shared visions for peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.
PM Albanese’s reelection, described as a “resounding victory” by PM Modi, was celebrated by the Labor Party. Albanese outlined plans to invest in young Australians while supporting older citizens, emphasizing economic resilience and national unity in the face of global uncertainty.
The India-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, established in June 2020, encompasses a broad range of collaborations, including science and technology, maritime cooperation, trade and investment, defense, agriculture, education, and tourism. Both nations share a vision for a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region.
