Outcome of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s India Visit

Outcome of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s India Visit By  Deepak Parvatiyar September 8, 2014 Overseas bounties seem to be pouring in this monsoon for India. It began in July with the presidency of the new BRICS Bank to India, followed by the out-of-turn visit by US Secretary State John Kerry to New Delhi to facilitate a better chemistry between President Barrack Obama and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi before they meet in Washington later this month; and the USD 35 billion ( Rs 2,10,000 crore) pledge by Japan to invest in India over next five years for various developmental works, besides Japan lifting ban on six Indian companies including HAL during Modi’s visit to the country a few days ago. The latest in the line is the inking of the long-awaited Indo-Australia nuclear deal that allows the latter to sell uranium to India, during the recent two-day state visit of the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to New Delhi during 4-5 September 2014.
