Not only did the Aussie PM shared the selfie on Twitter, but the newly-elected Australian prime minister also captioned the picture in the Hindi language, saying 'Kithana ache he Modi' (How nice Modi is). The Tweet has gone viral since then and has amassed over 9 thousand re-tweets and nearly 40 thousand likes.
Both PM Modi and Aussie PM Morrison are busy holding a number of bilateral and multilateral meetings on the sidelines of the summit in Osaka. Notable, this was the first meeting between PM Modi and his Australian counterpart after elections in India and Australia.
After PM Modi was re-elected in May, Morrison had telephoned the Indian leader to congratulate him on winning the Lok Sabha Elections. During the conversation, Morrison highlighted that "India and Australia are both strong and vibrant democracies and with our expanding economic engagement, increasing high-level interactions and strong people-to-people ties, the momentum generated in our relations would continue further."
